What Causes the Clicking Sound from Car Tires?
1 Answers
In most cases, this sound is caused by small stones stuck in the tire tread. Here are some relevant explanations: 1. Small stones colliding and rubbing against the road surface can increase tire noise, producing a "click-click-click" sound. 2. Some sharp stones may puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire if lodged deeply. If they penetrate the inner tire, it can lead to air leakage, and in severe cases, damage to the steel belts, potentially causing a blowout. Therefore, it's important to promptly remove any stones stuck in the tire. 3. For minor cases with few stones, you can use a screwdriver to pry them out from the tread grooves yourself. If there are many stones, during maintenance at a 4S shop or repair shop, you can ask the technician to deflate the tire and tap it to dislodge the stones. For larger stones that remain stuck, gently remove them with a screwdriver.
