2008 Scion tC Right Rear Tire Sound

Tires and Wheels problem
2008 Scion tC 4 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 14,000 miles

Hi,

Strange sounds are coming from my right rear tire when I drive. A hissing sound when I am driving straight at normal speeds becomes more of a squeaking sound when I slow down, and it progresses to a roar when taking a slow left turn. The sound does not come when I turn right. What's going on here? Is this serious?

Hi there,

You may have a deformed Tyre, swap it with the spare and see if the noise goes.
