That sounds typical of a bad O-Pipe.

You need to have that looked at ASAP!

Yup, need more specifics. You said "tire" makes a noise. Ya mean like a noise produced by the tire's contact with road surface or a noise that is more mechanical like from the wheel/axle area.? Describe the type of noise (click, hum, grinding, rumbling, rattling, b----ing, tapping, etc.), apparent location of the noise, conditions under which the noise is produced (speed, turning left, turning right, accelerating, decelerating, going over rough roads-speedbumps-potholes, doing wheelies etc.).

Glad to help but meanwhile, best advice is to turn your stereo up loud enough to drown out the noise til ya provide more details... :P :wink:

sounds like your tire isn't round. run your hand over the tread and see if it feels lumpy.

could be your brakes... you should jack up your car and spin the wheel with your hands, you should be able to narrow down the noise then.

Jack your car up and with the wheel still on see if you can wiggle it up and down. Also spin the wheel by hand and see if you hear anything.
