About 500 miles ago my 13 GT/CS started having a mild sound coming from the car. The sound is best described as "road noise", when the tire rolls over the road a humming is heard. The sound gets a little louder when I brake. My wife can hardly hear it on the passenger side but when she hears out of the drivers window it is clearly heard there! Is this the tire or possibly a wheel bearing? The car has app 20000 miles, I dont know if the tires are covered by warranty. (Im no where near my car today so I cant look at the paperwork)

coming from front or back of the car?

If its coming from 1 side it is most likely a bearing. If its from the whole car I would say tires.

I cant tell if its the front or back I just know its louder on the driver side

I would bet on tires. Does the noise tone or level change when the paved road surface changes. What about a slight change of direction....does that change the sound? Rotate the tires from side to side and see if the noise moves.

I'll tell you now...tires are not covered by a warranty.

Weather Man

Probably have a little cupping on the tires. Alignment is out of whack a little.

From what I read in the warranty the tires are prorated.......IF that is the problem.

gears ? drive the car, put in neutral, if sound goes away that's it

check the tire lug nuts ? maybe one isn't screwed in well. pop the trunk, you should have the wrench in the spare tire compartment.

did you check the tire pressure ? it could come from here too

how does the brake pedal feel ? is it firm or soft ? I wonder if it could come from a brake pad rubbing

if there is a defect in the tire it would probably be covered.
but after 20k miles it simply being worn down they wouldnt cover
