    Is it tyre noise?

    Not too sure what it is, but whenever I'm slowing down or drive at very low speeds I hear a propeller like noise coming from my front right tyre.. it pretty much goes *wap wap wap wap* before coming to a standstill lol - the left front makes no noise.

    The tyres I have on are continental sc2 - so my question is; the people with the same tyres, are you guys experiencing the same? is it even the tyres or could it be something else more serious that needs to be diagnosed?

    Swap the tyre with your spare and see what happens. In my old Commodore I had a click coming from my front right, started a bout a week before I was due for new ones, so I changed tyres and the clicking went away. You may have something stuck in your tyres.

    Don't think so, cos the noise is there when i don't apply the brakes either.

    And nope nothing stuck in the tyres, I'd like to change tyres and check right now but the spare is punctured

    i get the same noise but it only started happening after i changed the front drivers side tyre with the brand new spare tyre, was told by the dealer that the sound was because the tyre was new and the rest are used
