Reasons for Metal Friction Sounds from Tires While Driving

[OAlex]

Reasons for metal friction sounds from tires while driving: 1. It could be that there are small stones stuck in the tire treads. You can feel this after driving on a gravel road and then onto a cement road. The sound occurs once per rotation, and the faster you go, the more frequent the sound becomes. Simply perform a maintenance check to remove the small stones stuck in the tires. 2. Another possibility is that there might be small, hard foreign objects stuck between the brake disc and the brake caliper. 3. Steering gear noise, which only occurs when the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle. For the above issues, it's best to have them checked at a 4S shop. Although these problems are not major, the noise can be quite annoying. However, don’t let the 4S shop staff trick you into replacing parts—these issues usually just require adjustment and don’t need part replacements.
