thumping noise from left front end

hello, i have a 1998 dodge stratus and have a noise that sounds like something in the tire, it's brand new, could this be a wheel bearing? no squeal or grinding noise and the thumping goes faster as the car goes faster. any advice? thanks Randy

As others have said, could be tread separating, assuming you haven't taken a close look at the tire. New tires have deep tread that will pick up rocks and such as the tread is deep.

Loose lug nuts.

Try swapping front 2 tires & see if noise moves to other side; if so, have the offending one checked by the tire store; if no change, it's deeper in the axle system somewhere. sdlomi
