Put some 17 inch BA wheels on the Au wagon and they are making a wirrrring noise when driving and you can hear it while braking. What could be the cause of this!Out of balance maybe!Cheera

wrrrrr sounds like road noise to me wrRrRrRrRrRr is more an out of balance sound, and a flubflubflub usually means the tyre is flat.

Haha do you think its just road noise! I have gone from 205 to 235s so maybe they are just tires that make more noise. It never made this noise until now. Its not a flubflub noise haha

balance if its badly out you can feel through the steering wheel. what brand have you gone from/too is the big one, some tyres are a lot noisier than others, 20mm difference shouldnt make that much difference noise wise. profile maybe.!

Bloody crap threw by what Google says. Huge road noise from wahli or something. Gonna upgrade to something else

It's probably nothing more than the type of tyre you are using, some of these modern low profile tyres can be notoriously noisy on our roads, some can be worse on the coarse chip, others are worse on smooth tar seal.Often once they are worn past half way it gets worse.Its something you do need to research before buying.

Yeah had 205 65 15 good ride tyres that came with the car. I got mags and tyres for 400 so took a gamble

Its worse on smooth tarmac and on chip its hardly noticable. I might have to burn these bad boys up haha

I take it you didn't get new tyres!Unevenly worn tyres can sound pretty weird.

They are near new and look very even all around. Google says these are very loud tires so will just put up with it for now.

they wouldn't be directional tires would they, may cause the issue if on arounnd the wrong way.

Are they triangle or something equally as bad!
jason18,
Jun 24, 6:54pm
Yeah Directionals but they are on the right way. I checked that when putting wheels on. Yes I think they are probably just as Bad as Triangles.WAHLI haha

Did you check the wheel alignment on the car as I guess you are still using the standard AU falcon settings and might possibly NOT be suitable to the BA rims and tyres you have on there now, just a thought! Worthwhile checking I'd say! The various different tyre types can and do present different noise characteristics as well you know. Do you notice it more on smooth tarmac type seal more so than on coarse chip type seal!

Yeah more on smooth tarmac. Yeah I have to take it for an alignment anyway so will get that done.
