Just put on new tires and started experiencing a rattling noise coming from the driver side in the front when going 70MPH-80MPH no sounds when going less.

Hi,

Are you sure the wheel is tight? Also, are you feeling any vibrating in the steering or the floor of the vehicle?

Also, and don't laugh, confirm all the tires are the same size. If you open the driver's door, you will see a label identifying the original tire size and air pressure recommendations. Check that and then confirm they are all the same as indicated.

My biggest concern is you have a loose wheel, so make sure to check the lug nuts to make sure they are all present and tight.

One other thought. If the wheel is tight and the sound is loud enough to record, please do so and upload it for me to hear.

Take care and let me know what you find.

Hello, the sound is very light almost very hard to hear on video. I made sure all the tires were the same and they were some were missing weights, but no shaking or vibrating when driving just a constant little rattle on driver side when going only between 70-80MPH.

Hi,

Did you attach a video? It isn't present.

Also, did you make sure the wheel is tight?

Let me know.
