Front wheel noise?
Anyone know what would cause a weird wheel noise as I slow down under about 20 mph? Its not when i brake but it sounds like a noise like I can actually hear the wheel spinning, but its pretty loud.
I know...kinda vague..but any ideas?

Check your tires
Sounds like tire feathering / cupping. Check your front tires for abnormal wear or if you are not mechanically inclined take it to your local Bridgestone dealer...

Feathering occurs with too much toe-in and will shread a tire in two-thousand miles depending on the severity of toe-in. Feathering helped me destroy 5 sets of tires this year due to my dealer's FAULTY alignment machine.
