Droaning/wheel tread sound while driving

Post by jason1987 »

and it slows down as car slows down, can only describe it as if your spinning a bicycle wheel off the ground and then touch it with your hand or something, the sound gets slower as wheel gets slower, any ideas?

A failed belt perhaps? Or maybe an arch liner's fallen off at is rubbing on the tyre? Get the offending corner up in the air and spin it - all will (hopefully) become clear.

Failing that try swapping it for the spare - I've had a couple of mishapen rear tyres that giave similar symptoms.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Can be a fault in one of the tires. Can give that sound.
