Low pulsating drone from new tyres?
Hi, Since having my rear tyres changed to Goodyear F1 assy 6 I have experienced a low pulsating drone from the rear behind my right ear. This did not seem to be there before I had them changed. I have removed the wheel and the tyre seems okay, I have wiggled the wheel on the car and found no play. This happens between 30 and 40 mph. Has anyone else had this happen or knows what it might be please? Mike.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

Try swapping the wheels left to right and see if it moves. If so, then possibly an issue with that tyre. (Inspect it carefully when you swap them over).
If the noise stays where it is then maybe just something to do with that make of tyre and resonant frequencies.

I guess try all the usual stuff, is the noise from inside or outside the car (safely stick your head out the window to check!) get a passenger in and get them to check where the noise is coming from as mentioned above noises bounce around and might not be coming from where you think they are. Try a drive by with a friend standing on the road side.

Thank you enuff _zed and coldel I will swap the wheels over when I get the time. My wife is usually in the car and can’t hear it, she says I’m just finding fault. If they were Chinese tyres I would have complained but Good Years?
