uneven wear or feathering on e inside or outside of tyre....run ur hand over e tyre to n fro, shld b able to feel e feathering. Bottom line....alignment out tat causes tis

yesterday went to my regular service workshop to check what's the problem, he said it may due to tyre problem. Then go to Soh bro, cos I change tyre there, he said tyre no problem should be my ride's bearing may spoil, then go to Stamford ask them to check whether is bearing problem. They lift up car do flywheel but cannot hear the sound then he drive 1 round after come back he said can't find the problem but he can hear the sound, he said is like something is rap against each other, Advise me bring back to c&c. should I bring back to c&c since I never service there, think they should void my warranty.

check direction of tyre...is it unidirectional type or not...becos the direction of rotation is important...

Falken 912 also Assy tires. Not rotational... ... my friend just changed his GT radial to Falken 912 and he is very happy with it leh. Also don't know what wrong... ... What car you driving and what's your tire size?

Assy tires can also be installed wrongly... aka outside in the inside.

if wheel bearings are shot the sound gets louder as speed increases. you have also got the car lifted up to check wheels for free play and confirmed the wheel bearings are fine.

 

whether or not you have been servicing with c&c, they'll still point the blame at the tyres & ask you to go back to Soh since tyres were bought from them.

 

do get the tyre fitment checked at Soh again.

I think soh Bro may be right.. your car bearing may need a change. But misalignment may also cause this sound.

Where do the rolling sounds come from - front or rear tyres. I believe you are referring to front tyres.

 

Initially ther is no problem , the rolling sounds comes only lately. My guess is either your tyre rubber is unevenly cured due to manufactruing process. Uneven cured tyre rubeer will results in unven wears. The other possibility is undercarriage drive connections ( not sure whether it is wheel bearings, wear and tears of ball joints or just loose linkages). All these physical problems can be very easily detected by experience mechanics by just jacking up the cars.

 

PS Another possiblity is "critical speed" range - at this speed many rotating components tend to vibrate at the same frequencies creating humming noise. Such noise will disappear once you increase or further reduce the speed.

 

Hope this helps

When I changed my tyres a few years back at the famous AMK shop, I started getting some funny rattling sound from one of the tyres after I travelled some distance. I can only hear it at low speed and I could not figure out what it was.

 

I went to Stamford a few days later to get it checked and the guy said that there was something inside the tyre (as in, the air compartment). I tot cannot be la. So I paid him to take it out and sure enough, there were 2 weights (for wheel balancing) inside. At low speeds, the weights rattle inside as the wheel turns, but at higher speeds, they get pressed outwards the tyre and there is no sound.

 

Hard to believe, but it happened.

[Jordanplus]

yesterday sent my car to c&c @ upper thompson, ask them to check, check-in the car & leave cos they said may take 3-4 hrs. abt an hr later they called said can't find the problem, ask me to send to alexandra or pandan centre. so take a cab to collect my car, i board a hyundai sonata cab, once the cab moveoff i heard a very familair rolling sound same as my car's sound but much louder than mine. so i ask taxi uncle wat is this sound my car have this sound also, he replied this is just a tyre sound nothing wrong dun worry, told me don't waste my money to fix it, it's normal. he said he just changed tyres recently also. he explained cos some tyre rubber may unevenly cured due to manufacturing process. he said just volume up ur radio if u don't like that sound....:). so i accept taxi uncle's advise since they r much more experience & decide not to send my car to c&c for further check. cos i believe they have checked through the main compartments, like engine & gearbox, since i ask them to check there is rolling sound when the car moveoff.

 

But till now i'm still a bit worried and not 100% sure the rolling sound is come from tyre because:-

-i have check all 4 tyres was installed correctly, has been rebalancing and rotated and the rolling sound still come from the same area (front left tyre area). if it's tyre sound since has been rotated the sound will come from rear tyre, but it not????

- since i change to this Falken 912 & rolling sound happen, my FC is increase, before that i can easily clock 15km/L but now only 13km/L.

i hope it's not gearbox problem since i till feel a very smooth moveoff.

 

so now i just take it easy and enjoy my drive and wait till one day my car brokendown at the middle of the road then i'll know wat is the problem.

 

Thanks all bros.

quite high likely flat spot hardening

go and ask the shop to change for u

 

[Roberttan]

just go back to the tyre shop you bought,ask him to help you to figure out the problem is it due to tyre ?

may be you can ask him to switch tyre front back see weather the noise follow the change?

i think he is obligated to help you confirm not due to the tyre problem,of course you can't expect him to check any thing other than tyre.

if he can trouble shoot for you other than tyre h,e is experient and nice service provider.

but simple telling you the tyre he sold is ok is not very professional job to me.

and you are asking brothers here to help and yet no one is personally sit and drive on your car how to help?

i am pity you have to go round tyre shop,workshop ,car distributor just looking at the time you spent?

As a responsible vendor should proof his product/service is in good condition and properly done.

Share your sentiment. Probably so. [nod]

[Mcblue]

Flat spot hardening should only occur if the tyre has been mounted and standing on stationery vehicle for quite some time, can this imply that these are 2nd hand tyres?

[Mcblue]

Falkens tyres are generally hard compound type & tends to have problem like this...IMHO

[Silver_blade]

Really. Haven't tried one since the ST115 I tried over 6-8yrs ago. Had it changed within weeks...didn't like it.

 

The yoko ES100 I tried years ago also have 'humming' noise.
