xStric9x Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Has anyone ever had what sounds like a ticking which sounds like a nail in your tyre? I've had the wheels off to have a look but nothing. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xStric9x Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 stone caught in the tread? There was a couple stuck in there which i did remove, but still had the noise afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1xtyn1n3 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 hmm, i've got the same thing at the moment and guessed it would just be stones (as i used to get this a lot in my last car as well). i haven't checked for stones in mine yet, i'll have a look tomorrow. hopefully not a nail - really can't afford new tyres at the moment!

Simon+Kat Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Does the ticking speed up when you get faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernuk Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I had this and it was down to the tyre being nearly flat so the rubber was moving making the tick. They are that low it didn't look flat in the conventional sense. I know it sounds stupid but check your pressures.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
