Anybody running these tires? I run a 245/40r20 on the front of my 2012 Coyote and they've been great for I'd say over 25k miles. What I'm starting to notice though and it's possible I need an alignment although I've not hit any big holes and the car drives straight but now under 25mph or so the front tire (passenger side I think) has a nice grunt grunt grunt grunt to it when you are coming to a stop. It's not my brakes as it does it weather on or off the brake or gas. I'm 90% sure it's the tires. Anything above 25mph and it's completely goes away though and its whisper quiet. Anybody else experience this with these tires? Is this something you guys/gals would just chalk up to it is what it is unless it gets worse or would you get an alignment/have a shop listen to it. I think it's ok but just wanting opinions. Car has 60k miles and I could rotate the tires now but in the warmer months I run a wider rear tire . Right now it's squared up for cold weather driving

If your running the same size on front and rear I would suggest rotating them to the rear to see if the noise follows.

If it does I would take it to discount tire and see if they can throw it on their road force balancer to see if it's potentially out of round or starting to separate.
