Thanks.. just bought a used car that came with all season tires. At first thought it was the wheel bearings that were worn out and loud until i saw / heard this..Saved me a repair bill. 😄
Just coming from your wheel bearing video and I can 100% agree with your conclusion on this one. Bad tire for sure! The sound is different as well from a bearing. It has a roar at low speeds....you are correct! I hate that some tire shops can't get this correct, especially when you consider that wheel bearings are expensive on most vehicles, like really expensive now! Upvoted.
My tire just started this sound, it's kinda quiet really, but I can faintly hear it. Not a wheel bearing noise. So the tire needs to be replaced I guess.... 😞?
Man I swear this video confirmed EXACTLY what I was thinking was going on in my car...thankfully I'm canceling the appointment to have the hub and bearing changed
Thank you so much for this! It's a hard noise to hear through video but your explanation + what I CAN hear makes me confident that this is my issue. Thanks again!
This is bad tires. I had the same noise coming from my bmw x1 and thought it was a bad bearing. I got it checked and found that there were little bumps in the rear right tire causing this noise.
if I don't change the tire that makes the noise, what can I do to improve? As I have new tires and let them sit for couple of months lacking air...can filling more air help? or low pressure with air will help? switch the deformed tires to the back? the tires will wear to get better? thanks...these questions are for everybody to answer...
Thank you for making the video, my car (Volvo XC70) has been driving me mad with this elusive noise, the last few thousand miles it has got far worse and I was struggling to pin it down to a specific wheel bearing. (I have one in stock). A clue with mine is that it gets much quieter on damp roads, probably should try the spare on the suspect corner to see if it changes. Certainly does not seem to be affected by moderate side to side G forces.
Exactly what is happening with mine. But I also had a wheel bearing at the same time which makes more of a whomp-whomp over 40mph. With the tire noise there’s a high row of tread on two of the tires and it does the same thing with noise at low speed or going off the throttle.
I do suspect that it’s my tires as well. But… My tires are new. Bought the car certified at the dealership. But it just seems like loud tire noise, and tests out the same way. Thoughts? Thank you.
Thank you! Mine you can't hear until over about 40kph, but yeah, it sounds EXACTLY like that, even with the slight "whomp-whomp" at around the speed of the wheel rotation (or thereabouts). And no change side-to-side. Still going to get it checked, but at least I can breathe easier when I'm driving now. Smoking gun was that these were two new front tyres a few weeks ago - suspicious!
Thank you ! I been thinking its my tire people tell me it’s my wheel bearing I’m like it can’t be I will a clicking or raspy vibration sound but my tires does the exact same thing
Hi, I’m quite confident my excess noise is caused by my newer all terrain tires. I recently bought a 2012 Silverado and it had very new all terrain tires when I bought it… my only concern is they are quite at highway speeds and loud between 25-35mph when driving through town… the tires have maybe 1000 miles on them and the noise hasn’t gotten any worse or better since I bought it 2 weeks ago… I only really notice the noise from the front tires, I think it gets louder as i decelerate, and the noise doesn’t really change when swerving back and forth… it just concerns me how loud it is between 25-35mph
I think so too. Got Falken AT3s after 5k of driving. They went loud, like going through rumble strips. Especially on concrete roads with a lot of imperfections. I think the tires might need a new balancing.
Do you kind of "feel" the noise in the floor board when it's the tires? Mine has a "feeling" when decelerating as well as a very low rumble. Almost like brake rotors, but mine are new.
You think old tire could make the same noise? I just replace two front with new but the rear are 6 years old but have about 70% tread. Just cant tet rid of the noise.
so is this just the noise these tires make or was there an issue? my rear GTI tires been making the same noise, got an alignment and changed the rotors and still there
I just came back from getting my wheel bearing fixed it makes the exact same noise as the car in the video after I got it fixed and the guy said it was the tires however he said the tires are still good and don’t need replacing that’s just the noise aggressive tires make, what do you recommend?
i just got new tires and i replaced my wheel bearing and the speed increase the noise goes and same when im almost coming to a stop but when i shift side to it makes the noise to
Our 2012 G37 we recently bought with 82k on it makes some decent noise as it's driven. Michelin tires, two are from 2015, 2 from 2018. I've got 2 new tires on order to replace the 2015's and am hoping the noise is the tires. Jacked the car up and spun the front tires quite a bit, don't think a wheel hub is the issue. Need to check the trans fluid, I'm concerned the trans could be the source of the noise, not the tires as the sound seems kinda mechanical to me...
@@EuropeanAutoRepair No kidding!! I wish Infiniti had put in a dipstick so I could check the fluid level. That fluid level check is a pain, need a lift for it and the pump...
If it's bad tires, when you change to a different road surface, the sound will sound different, or go away? The noise won't go away if it's bearing's when you change road surfaces.
Did you ever figure it out? same thing happened to me, new set of tires on monday and the sound has been driving be mad and now the car pulls a little bit to the right
It's actually ridiculous that a BMW allows this kind of noise to come through the cabin. You would say that the rubbers, springs and shocks should absorb this noise. Could the tire be cupped or have a bent rim?
Man....dammmm...this is my problem. You know I got all.my bearings changed in last 2 months.. Now I am going to change the tyres and see if that resolves the issue or not.
@EuropeanAutoRepair Did you manage to fix it? Tire remounting? Wheel balancing? I bought completely new Michelin tires 2 days ago and I have similar symptoms. I need to go to a mechanic in my free time.
Hello how did u fix it please I have exactly bought michelin 2 new front wheels and have this crazy noise. Michelin primacy 4. Were ur wheels the problem?
Once the damage has been done from the alignment being out of spec many times the tire noise will not subside when corrected. In that case alignment and tires are necessary, that’s why I always recommend a alignment check when new tires are being installed, many times saves money in the long run
Is the noise also possible to feel while driving like a small wiggle? Cuz my car does that noise, very loudly in a high speed as I thought I was being chased by a helicopter 😂 But it is super steady even at 100kph (60mph) only like at 120-130 it starts to kinda shake a bit but might be normal
Haha if it’s bad enough you could feel a little something if it has a shifted belt it can be a very large vibration, lol I’ve never heard being chased by a helicopters that’s pretty good, definitely tire
Just bought the Stang 17k miles on original tires. It's a run flat type. 30mph start hearing the whomp whomp sound. When braking to slow down, you can hear it better. Tire looks like alignment issue so I'll do the cheapest way first. I do have bumper to bumper warranty but not sure if it'll cover wheel bearing.
Did you ever figure it out? same thing happened to me, new set of tires on monday and the sound has been driving be mad and now the car pulls a little bit to the right
What do you recommend if its the tire noise? Tire doesn't look that bad, some wear. New tire? I noticed my gas milage is down compare to what I'm use to getting on that. Is that normal due to tire noise?
The tire noise in itself shouldn’t influence fuel efficiency, usually replacing the tires or dealing with the noise are the options, you can try rotating them but it likely won’t help much
So what was it? Cheap tires or just went bad? You don't have to buy the best of the best, but you have to consider that the tires are the only thing touching the road, so a good grippy tire can save you from an accident when you have to steer or break during an emergency.
I thought this was my issue as well. Starts immediately when accelerating and makes that "winding up" "helicopter" noise as it accelerates/decelerates. I got new tires.....same noise. Im lost lol (needed the new tires badly anyway)
thens whats probably the problem in that and solition because some of the viewers may experience that kind of sound and so they may know what exactly the problem
@@nicolinbogdan9615 it actually went away after about 50 miles. I’ve just never ever experienced that before w new tires…. Guess now I know. Spooked me out a little at first though.
22% of new tires are bad. Firestone told me it was the diiferential and I told them it started when I bought a new set of tires. My mechanic says...it's the tires
Why do people post videos where you really have to listen in to the noise, and they talk all over top of it. Talk before the test drive smh. This video is of no help because you're talking overtop of all the noise lol
@@EuropeanAutoRepair Actually it did. My car has the same noise its just as the video sounds. I had an Acura MDX that made the same noise. Turns out it was bad alignment in the tires caused the tires to wear unevenly.
My car makes the same noise. We did tire balance and the noise is still the same. I’m gonna charge the tires and hope that solves it, they’re pretty expensive 🥲
Thank you . I’m confident it’s my tyres rather than the wheel bearings 😊
same :)
Thank you for making this video!🙏 I almost convinced myself that I needed new cv axles or bearings😅
Thanks.. just bought a used car that came with all season tires. At first thought it was the wheel bearings that were worn out and loud until i saw / heard this..Saved me a repair bill. 😄
Great to hear!
Exactly what mine sounds like. Time for new tires. Thank you 🙏
Mine does that too i am glad it just the tires

THIS IS DEFINITELY MY ISSUE. I NEED TO GET ALIGNED FOR SURE BUT THANK YOU FOR ALLEVIATING MY CONCERN
Even though you were talking it still helped me confirm that mine is probably a tire issue and not a wheel bearing issue. Thanks.
Happy it was still helpful for you! yeah playing the video back I definitely left some room for improvement lol
@EuropeanAutoRepair Thanks mate. Really helpful. Have a nice day ahead!
Man I swear this video confirmed EXACTLY what I was thinking was going on in my car...thankfully I'm canceling the appointment to have the hub and bearing changed
Haha excellent, I hope you get it resolved
Absolutely right
@@EuropeanAutoRepair new tires fid the trick!!! But I paid much less for em being under warranty
@MrDubb5 glad to hear it!!
I have 2013 Ford Flex and have spent thousands of dollars trying to stop this sound! Thank you for putting my mind at ease.
I appreciate this video. Too many videos can come off deceitful causing you to get a new wheel bearing.
Thank you so much for this! It's a hard noise to hear through video but your explanation + what I CAN hear makes me confident that this is my issue. Thanks again!
I appreciate that, glad it was helpful!

This is my issue here. I have two new tires on the front and older but good looking tires on the back….my roar has seem to have gotten louder.
You need an alignment done.
Do I need to fix something if one of my tired makes this noise? Please help? I’ve been scared to drive
Usually if the tire appears to be in good condition and it’s just noisy it is not dangerous just annoying
Could this be an alignment issue? I have this noise on an F25 but it’s not as loud. My tires are still good I’m assuming
Thank you so much for this video. I have exactly the same sound..
Glad it helped
I have exact noise in my Audi A4. I am suspecting tires too. Thanks for the video. Is this called wobbling noise?
I’m not really sure what you would call that noise exactly, thanks for watching
so is this just the noise these tires make or was there an issue? my rear GTI tires been making the same noise, got an alignment and changed the rotors and still there
I just came back from getting my wheel bearing fixed it makes the exact same noise as the car in the video after I got it fixed and the guy said it was the tires however he said the tires are still good and don’t need replacing that’s just the noise aggressive tires make, what do you recommend?
If it actually is the tires he is correct, noisy tires in themselves are more of a annoyance than a safety issue typically
Thanks. 14y old tyres, was suspecting them..
Is it like a whirring sound, that sounds like it gets faster as the car accelerates?
Typical I wouldn’t consider it a whirling sound
i just got new tires and i replaced my wheel bearing and the speed increase the noise goes and same when im almost coming to a stop
but when i shift side to it makes the noise to
I have the same issue exactly the same sound. I inflated the tires and i have the same noise still
So is this a bad tire noise? I have this issue with my car and at high speeds it goes from high to low kinda noise. Almost like a humming.
So what can cause the wear on the tire to make this noise?
Incorrect alignment or loose suspension components are typically the offender but some tires are more inclined to be noisy than others
Our 2012 G37 we recently bought with 82k on it makes some decent noise as it's driven. Michelin tires, two are from 2015, 2 from 2018.

Yeah the road surface shouldn’t affect wheel bearing noise
Hi Jonathan what did this end up being
Does tires need replace?
I just bought 4 tyres and wheel alignment after that' ,took my car home and that sounds exactly the same sounds i wonder if they do my tyres balance??
Did you ever figure it out? same thing happened to me, new set of tires on monday and the sound has been driving be mad and now the car pulls a little bit to the right
It's actually ridiculous that a BMW allows this kind of noise to come through the cabin. You would say that the rubbers, springs and shocks should absorb this noise. Could the tire be cupped or have a bent rim?
What if you get the same tyre noise on brand new tyres?
Will there be a next video showing what's wrong with the tire(s) ?
That’s a good idea, I’ll do one this week showing what a noisy tire will typically look like and give more info
Man....dammmm...this is my problem.
You know I got all.my bearings changed in last 2 months..
Now I am going to change the tyres and see if that resolves the issue or not.

Hello how did u fix it please I have exactly bought michelin 2 new front wheels and have this crazy noise. Michelin primacy 4. Were ur wheels the problem?
Alignment. Getting new tires will not solve the problem. Getting alignment will.

New tires
I hit the tire while parking on sidewalk (right front pax side) and now makes the Tik-Tok sound upon accelerating 😊 how to fix?
Would you say it’s a pulsing hum??? I feel like I have this get louder at speed
Yeah that’s a good way to describe it
So do the tires need replacing? My son's BMW sounds exactly like this.
Yeah that’s most likely what will need to happen, have the tire shop give you their opinion before replacing
Thanks for the video
Is the noise also possible to feel while driving like a small wiggle? Cuz my car does that noise, very loudly in a high speed as I thought I was being chased by a helicopter 😂

Haha if it’s bad enough you could feel a little something if it has a shifted belt it can be a very large vibration, lol I’ve never heard being chased by a helicopters that’s pretty good, definitely tire
So what would be the issue if you have this exact scenario?
Likely need to replace tires and have alignment checked to check to potential cause of poor tire wear patterns
Mine sounds a bit like this. It's getting 2 new tyres today so fingers crossed this fixes it
Hello, did it fix the issue ?
Nope, it was the gearbox. Cost me approx £2.5k to get a new one fitted 😢
Is it the run flats or bad tires? My car makes that thumping sound at low speeds
Sounds like bad tires, that could be bad run flats as well
Just bought the Stang 17k miles on original tires. It's a run flat type. 30mph start hearing the whomp whomp sound. When braking to slow down, you can hear it better.

very good video thank you
I appreciate that
How long can you drive like this, 1 week 2 weeks ??
Noisy tires on their own assuming the cause is just uneven tread wear isn’t much of a safety concern, more of a annoyance
thens whats probably the problem in that and solition because some of the viewers may experience that kind of sound and so they may know what exactly the problem
So how do you fix it? Just replace the tire that's making noise?
Yeah usually replace tires and have alignment checked
@@EuropeanAutoRepair thanks 🙏🏽
Same here on my C7.5 competition
I have the same noise in my BMW X1. So, in the end, could you fix it by just changing the tyres? Thanks for your answer.
Typically changing the tires and a alignment check is also a good idea, just to verify an alignment issue isn’t causing the abnormal wear
God i hope it's uneven tire wear from my worn steering rack... I just spent oer 700 dollars last year for all new loaded front knuckles and hubs.
Wow l wish l'd seen this video l couple of days ago l just change all 4 wheel bearings because it was making this noise
Mine sounded a lot like the video and I thought it was bad tires, but it ended up being warped front brake rotors.
