For those with Trailmax Missions, is it me, or does the front tyre howls at around 40-50mph? Am mid tour and am concerned that i might be missing a wheel bearing noise. The wheel spins freely and no vibes.

Mine made a bit of noise, depending on varying degrees of roughness of asphalt. It's not normally noticeable as my MotoZ RallZ rear masked any front tire racket. As long as you've checked for any bearing roughness and/ or side play and there isn't any brake drag, I wouldn't be too concerned.

The front Mission tire I had on my R1200GS developed an annoying howl at the same 40 to 50 mph speed, but only after the tire had about 6k miles on it. It was still howling when I pulled the tire with 10k miles after I found the tread had split (not cut) down to the carcass. Too bad, as the tire still had quite a bit of tread remaining and still performed great in all conditons on- and off-road (unlike the rear Mission, which I pulled early due to unsat on-road performance).
