Subject:      Thumping from Tires (?)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

There's a thumping sound when I'm driving that I swear is from my tires, but when I jacked the van up and checked, I couldn't see or feel any lump or separation. It changes frequency with speed and I think I can feel the van shake when it thumps, but it's hard to tell if it's the road or whatever is causing the thumping. I don't feel it through the steering wheel, so I assume it's coming from the rear, but I did check the front tires, too, but didn't see or feel anything on them. I have 16" Michelin Hydroedge tires that have good tread even though they are 6 years old and have 40,000 miles on them. Is there some other problem that would cause this?
