Okay,
I have been away from the world of auto mechanics for many, many years.
I have a 2003 Ford Windstar van that the driver's side front tire was replaced because the tire that was mounted was losing air.
The replacement tire seems to be causing a loud roaring noise in the van's cabin as it picks up speed. Also, I can feel vibration through the steering column and onto the steering wheel.
Am I going nuts or can a tire actually do that? Normally, I would suspect the wheel bearing to be bad, but both front bearings were replaced a year ago.
