Noticed yesterday driving home from work a tapping sound coming from the rear of the car right side I think don't know if it's just something cought on the wheel or not but the faster I go the quicker the noise once I'm going fast enough the noise fades abit any advise ?

[falconmick]

Have you checked to see if there's a nail, screw, stone etc stuck in the tread?

[Mark b]

Just seen a bloody nail in the rear left tyre but the nail is pushed it quite far but don't think it's coming from there unless tomorrow I take the rear wheel off and have a closer look

[falconmick]

If tyre is holding pressure fairly well, I would leave it in place and just go to a tyre repairer ASAP.

Just been out in the car and think it may be the nail as the noise get faster when I put my foot down I'm going to get a quote tomorrow for 4 new or part worn tyres

[falconmick]

I never buy part worn, don't know what hidden damage there can be, although tread looks ok. Tyres are all that there is between car and road and I like to know that tyres are good. Have you tried Black Circles website to get an idea of prices? They're usually a good bench mark.

[Mark b]

Very true , price on black circle is £215 fitted

[navmk4gti]

Blackcircles is good as you can choose get them fitted at local garage. I got full set for my 4mo supplied and fitted for £190. Budget tyres cant complain tho there pretty good

Must admit I've never heard of them until I see the reply my local garage can fit me on this weds may as well get it done now as mot is August so better get new ones so it's one less job to do
