Hello Everyone!!

Just purchased a 2010 Tahoe LS 4x4 almost a month ago. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a weird sound when traveling around 30-35 MPH. I can hear the sound in the cabin and it sounds like its coming from maybe one of the wheels but not sure. Its a wa wa wa wa type of sound. Sorry but thats the best way I can describe it. Whats weird is that it only happens between the MPh range I mentioned.

Another thing I noticed was a type of binding feeling when traveling between 70-75MPH. the tires seem as though they somewhat seize a little and push through. Whenever I get to work (25 miles later) There's a plastic/rubber burning smell coming from around the rear passenger tire area.

Am I just a paranoid owner?? Any help/ideas as to what is going on is greatly appreciated!!

FYI, car was purchased with 241 miles on odometer, my dumbass didnt ask where those miles came from. It also had 20" rims but choose to have them swap them out to stock because I didnt want them.

THANKS!!
