What is your question?
At first I thought my tires were wearing out but upon replacing them with new ones I realize that isn't the problem. I am experiencing what I perceive as loud road noise when driving at speeds of 55+. A roaring sound that is so loud it is hard to have a conversation in the car without talking just shy of a scream. I have checked the engine, the muffler, changed the tires, all to no avail. My Highlander LTD used to be so quiet and enjoyable to drive. No diagnostic codes I am aware of. What has gone wrong? Thanks

Most likely cause is the wheel bearings have gone bad. Slight grinding noise at low speeds which builds to a constant roar at higher speeds. I believe your car has bearings that need to be pressed out and new ones pressed in.
Agree with wheel bearing as being the likely cause.
I have the same problem on my 2004 Highlander with 60K miles. It gets louder as I go faster and is quite loud at 70 mph. I have the AWD 6 cylander. Will it have 2 or 4 sets of wheel bearings? Do yall have any idea of what this might cost? Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll check into the bearings this weekend.
