i have a sound coming from the passenger side front tire (98 Cobra )....it kinda sounds like a mudgrip tire.....i thought wheel bearings made a squeeling like noise or something if they was going bad...drives perfect...i dunno...could it be tire noise ?...i have 18" nitto 555's on it.....the toe end was out a little and it chewed on the outside of the tire a little bit so i didnt know if it could be tire noise or wheel bearing or what....any suggestions ?

When front wheel bearing went out on my van it sounded like a belt squeeling! Got so hot it welded itself to the spindle! I would have it checked out to be sure.

ya bad bearings sound like an agressive snow tire. the sound should change as you steer left and right. to check for play jack it up and drab the tire at 12 and 6 and move it back and forth

does anyone know if Nitto tires make any tire noise ..i know i had a set of michelins a few years back and they was loud as heck

I have heard a few but never on a Mustang. It sounds like swirrling metal, kinda like a rubbing brake. A girl I knew heard that a few days ago right before her tire fell off on I95. You can replace your own bearings or go to a shop. It shouldn't be that much.

its definately not a metal sound....kinda like...well...what a mudgrip on a 4x4 sounds like a little lol..thats the best way i can describe it

She has a Bronco II and she thought it was just mud on her tires from the canal. But yeah then her wheel feel off. She said she went to get into the right lane and it sounded a lot worse when she turned the wheel then it just fell off and she went flying to the left and had to jerk the wheel to get off the highway. So yeah deff get it checked out. I know if I hear something like that after what happend to her I am getting it checked. After all who wants a wrecked Stang?.... oh yeah and get hurt yourself lol
