Could be a worn tire. Trying rotating the tire's and see if the noise is still there. On another note, it could just be normal road noise that sounds odd to you because it's your first time in the back seat.Grant

After going crazy trying to figure it out, the next door neighbors kid said hey, maybe it's your tire. I laughed and told him to go watch the Telitubby's or something. Well folks i took the tire off and low and behold it has flat spots, all on the inner tread. I guess i need to watch telitubbies.

I used to experience cupping on every set of tires that I used on my Cadillac STS. I never figured out why it was so hard on tires. Traded it on on the M.CD

I guess it's OK if you watch the Telitubbies w/him. Just don't let him see you're getting more of a kick out of it than he; make him think you're an  adult...

Nothing is bent. I had the dealer look at it last Tuesday. It's a Goodyear RS-A. It was on the car when i bought it last August. I've put about 10k miles on the car since then. Im pretty sure the tire was brand new, it still has around 6/32nds on it.

Ahha! That there is the problem, IMHO. Change this tire out when you can. The RS-A a fundamentally mediocre tire. Yes, it is relatively quiet and yes, it has long tread wear, but just about everything else on this tire is pretty pathetic. Handling is poor - dry or wet - and the braking is poor. Prone to tramlining as well. Of course, Goodyear makes another tire that is far superior - my current favorite - the Eagle F1 GS-D3. In a 245/45-18 100W size, it is the right tire for a 2003/4 M45 - in non-winter conditions. It is really sad that Infiniti (along with a number of other car manufacturers) insists on using the RS-A as an OEM brand.  Z

Unfortunately RSA is a generic Goodyear name. Each RSA tire in each size is a different design, even their wonderful police tire is an RSA.

. Not sure what it could be. Going to the dealer Tuesday for an oil consumption test(AGAIN) but don't really want to pay the $100 for the diagnostic. Would anyone know what it could possibly be..? Thanks in advance.
