I purchased a certified pre-owned 2006 Cadillac STS (V6 with Performance/Luxury Package). It has the factory issued Michelin MXM4 tires (front: 235/50/17 rear: 255/45/17). Since I’ve owned it has made a higher pitched rubbing noise when the wheel is turned significantly (for example, while turning into my driveway). I thought all along this was a tire issue, but the tire shop said it isn’t and now it’s out of warranty. What is this sound? Is it normal? Is it worth repairing? Thanks everyone! ---

It could be a couple of things. 1. It could be power steering problems (either pump or rack and pinion) 2. wheel bearing. Have a mechanic check it out and yes it is worth repairing. ---

It could also be something as simple as a tire rubbing on a loose splash ahield or dust shield. I agree, get it checked out. It’s unlikely to fix itself.
