Have the tires been rotated?

If the tires haven't been rotated on a regular basis you may experience "cupping". Rub your hand around the tire and see if you see/feel ridges. These usually appear on the outer tread section of the tire and the ridges keep repeating. If this is the problem, rotating the tires now will likely make the noise worse. One solution is to find a tire shop that could shave the tires. This is a lost 'art'. I had to have the front tires on my motorhome shaved when I found out they were out of round.
