Why does the tire make a noise every time it rotates and keeps making noise?
2 Answers
The reason why the tire makes a noise every time it rotates and keeps making noise is due to loose or excessive gaps in the suspension system, various connecting rods, and ball joints. The solutions for the tire are as follows: Uneven tread: The tire makes a rumbling noise as if running over something, often accompanied by steering wheel vibration and erratic left-right movement. In such cases, it is best to replace the tire or rim. Abnormal noise due to excessive tire pressure: For passenger cars, the tire pressure should be around 2.4bar for both front and rear when unloaded, and around 2.6bar for the front and 2.7bar for the rear when fully loaded. If the tire pressure is too high, not only will the tire noise be loud while driving, but the suspension will feel stiffer, and the steering will become lighter and floaty. In such cases, some air should be released to adjust the pressure to the standard value.
I've been driving for many years, and it's quite common to hear a ticking sound with every tire rotation. Usually, it's caused by small stones or nails stuck in the tire tread, making a rhythmic noise as they hit the road. It could also be due to worn wheel bearings, which can cause an unbalanced rotation. I recommend you pull over to a safe spot immediately and carefully inspect each tire's surface. Feel for any embedded foreign objects or gently kick the tires to locate the sound source. If you can't identify the cause, head to a repair shop right away. Ignoring such noises could lead to a blowout or bearing damage, resulting in higher repair costs. Developing a weekly habit of visually inspecting your tires can save you a lot of trouble.
