Road tyre like noise

[richie79]

Hey people,I have just noticed this noise recently,it's hard to describe but sounds like road tyre noise but louder coming from the rear,or like wind blowing hard at the front of the car kinda noise,or if u can imagine wind blowing in your ear it's that kinda sound,as I say hard to explain.

Could it be a rear wheel bearing or maybe rear brakes rubbing? I've just had the rear discs and pads done

I've had a rumble now for ages. Sounds like a bearing, rubbing discs or a flst...but no matter how hard I look I can't find it. Just got used to it now and ignore it.

Stupid question....its not noisy tyres is it?? I know my dads had some pretty horrific tyres for road noise before. Sounded like the wheels were going to fall off, bearings etc. got the tyres changed...proplem solved. I know it sounds simple but may be worth a shot. See if you can swap wheels with another local dc5 owner to maybe rule it out?

I'm suffering from the same problem so it will be going in for a check up soon.

As above on the last post, check your tyres. My mechanic reckons V tread patterns cause a lot of road noise and the only way to eradicate the noise is by fitting asymmetrical tyres.

I know on the EP3, uneveningly wearing rear tyres car cause a noise like you describe.
