Tyre Noise

Featured Replies

Hi

I have just had new tyres and alloys put on my 2010 Octavia vrs estate.

Same size tyres as the originals.

They are Michelin pilot spot 6s and Japanese racing wheel JR45s (18 inch)

I am getting a fair bit of noise coming from the tyres, almost sounds like a window is open.

Anyone have any ideas please, or do I put up with it until they're worn in?

Not sure but had the old tyres worn fairly evenly especially rear. My old Octy rear tyres had loads of wear on the inside due to rear suspension arm bushes worn and rear alignment was out. Sounded a bit like a drone/wheel bearing. Check the swing arms at rear that the springs sit in. There are concentric bolts for alignment but if the bushes fail the alignment can cause tyre wear/noise. It was the upper bushing on mine that had gone.
