The Walmart/Goodyear Reliant, made in Mexico, has replaced the Walmart/Goodyear Viva-3, made in Ohio, and the Walmart installer told me they were the same tire plus they are a lower price. On a previous car, a Scion xB that ran up to 221,000-miles, the Viva-3 was a good quiet tire. On my Subaru Crosstrek, the Reliant made a loud buzzing noise starting at 35-mph and gets louder as speed increases ...... BUZZZZZ! ... ugh-

Is difficult to say whether it is/was an engine noise or a tire noise or something else like a wheel bearing or other bearing because the different Subaru noises get all blended together. A 2014 Subaru Crosstrek with 125-k miles is reported to be a NOISY car ..... with a noisy engine or something ...... is what I hear?

Took it in to a car repair service and they say it is mostlt the wheel bearing making all the noise, plus also something to do with a brake part cover, or something.
