 Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:41 pm Post subject: Tyre/Road Noise |
 |
|
Not really 'Suspension, Brake and Driveline', so I thought I would post here:
My new AU wagon (standard forte wheels with caps) are running Khumos 205/60/15 - just standard things, & I have noticed, in particular above 60, quite obvious at 80 most of the time, that road noise is pretty loud - are AU's known for it, or is it likely that its the Khumos at fault?
Just waiting for someone selling BA XR wheels with good tyres at a bargain price - & I mean bargain - don't want the cheap wagon to end up expensive....or I might settle for AU XR6's which no doubt will be easier to find at a bargain price..... |

| Doesn't seem to be any scrubbing, and I think noise seems more from the front. |

Hi mate,
Just been in for a checkup and service, checked the brakes, surely he would have checked the wheel bearings.....
Definately sounds like its through the tyres - just wondering if its an issue with AU sound deadening (or lack of) or if its likely to be resolved with different tyres. |

| It could be the wheel bearings and the rear wheel bearing seal, if it is worn away it will make noise |
