this is a great point.
I called the dealership and asked if they could do that. Turns out they did just that. They swapped a spare set of used winter tires and rims on the car, drove it, and the noise went away.
So knowing that, it gives me more confidence that is the issue.
The tires have 70k kms on them so I am not too stressed about buying the car and then having to buy tires because I will have to replace them soon anyways.
I will ask if the dealer can cut me a deal for tires at cost, at least then I can take delivery with new tires installed.
