Droning noise at 60-75mph

Featured Replies

My vote for tyres, they had loads of tred left but they must have worn unevenly. Had this for thousands of miles and put up with it thinking it was bearings on the way out.

Swapped for new tyres and it was like a different car! So quiet!

What brand tyres did you fit?

I use Conti SC3, no noise problems. My winter tyres (Kumho KW-27) are getting noisy, but are due for replacement.

I popped in to my local dealer at short notice and we went for a test drive. The mechanic said he thought it might be a wheel bearing but he wasn't sure. He looked at the tyres and said there was no saw-toothing, so probably not them. I booked the car-in for them to do a proper examination. They ended up replacing the front near-side wheel bearing and now the noise is gone!

Cheers for the replies.
