When I first read the post- I too suspected the bearing and thought it was an unusually defective one. However, a friend in a 2006 330xi had identical symptoms- the dealership replaced the tire and the noise was quelled.
 
Please have tires rotated- the noise should then dissipate. Dealership will point you to a Goodyear dealer to have it replaced.

Hi All,
We had a similiar issue with our new Tribeca 07. Picked it up 2 weekend ago and noticed a slight shimmy in the front. Finally took it to the dealer today to have a remote start put in and ask them to check the shimmy. Just got the call, the belt on the tire has shifted and Tire Rack will handle the warranty. It's a bit disconcerting since it's a new car. Got the car with 12 miles. So far the wife loves it and that's what matters.

I agree, the problem is your dealer, not the manufacturer.
 
Plus, cross-posting is against the Town Hall rules.

Here you go, a story to counter your experience.
 
This guy's dealership actually bought back a brand new Subaru when the owner found his bad back just didn't agree with his Subaru's seats.
 
Incredible! Now that's service. Find a dealer like this one:

I bought a 06 Tribeca in April & suffer the same prob at 48kmh (29mph)
Still trying to sort out since April. They are offering new tyres & rims & then test drive to see if humming goes away...
Still waiting !!!!!!

RE: the owner that got his money back because of those seats...
 
My Tribeca seats are just not supporting my lower back like our other car does. There is no electronic adjustment to give lower lumbar support and on long trips I have to wedge a pillow back there. BAD DESIGN!!!!
 
However, I'd never return the car, but I'd like to find a nice leather wedge to match my light interior to give me that support instead of a bulky pillow on road trips.

Transmission Problems by flgirlaol

I'm still having Transmission problems.
 
It happens sporadically that I don't think the dealer will be able to find this problem! It happens every 2 to 3 days. Always in the mornings on the way out. I live in warm climate in FL so the engine isn't too "cold" but when I pull out into an intersection out of my development in the mornings......it's like I can't get into 1st gear...even though I'm in Drive it's in neutral and the engine roars but the car doesn't go anywhere. It's very dangerous because I'm getting ready to pull out in traffic and I nearly miss my moment to turn left. Sometimes it happens on my first left into a major intersection, other times it's my section left into an intersection. It's dangerous and embarrassing. BTW, I have a 2007 Tribeca
 
Do you think Suburu and fix this? What is this?
