After having the 64,000 Km service done at a local Toyota dealer, which included a 4 tire rotation (front to back same side), there is now a steady mild thumping sound which increases with speed. Having returned to the Toyota shop, I mentioned that prior to the tire rotation, there was no thumping noise. They said the noise is from the tires wearing differently in their new location compared to their previous location and suggested the noise would eventually disappear when the tires took on a new wear pattern. The current tires are Michelin MXV4 Plus. I am wondering if the Toyota explanation is accurate, or if I should have something else done or checked.
