Front right side tire is making an grinding noise when I first start driving then after awhile it becomes less noisy I have an 98 Ford explorer eddie Bauer
SOURCE: What is recommended tire pressure for Michelin LTX
open the drivers door and on the side of the actual door there will be a sticker with your tire size and suggested pressures,I recommend 32 psi,when you drive the car it should come up 2 or 3 psi putting it at 35 psi
When checking to make sure noise is wheel bearings while driving vehicle at speed the noise is loudest (if possible) turn steering wheel back and forth enough to shift the weight of the vehicle from side to side and if it's a wheel bearing there should be quite a bit of difference in the noise.
If about the same noise check the wear pattern on the tires for flat spots or unusual wear pattern if there is rotate tires. If nothing still found jack up vehicle with all 4 tires of the ground. Use jack stands for this. Get some one in vehicle to run it at speed the noise develops, I use a long screw driver (2 feet long) as a stethoscope to find where noises come from. Try with and without 4 wheel drive if possible. Good luck cause noises can be a real pain in the b____.
