Any ideas appreciated

[ryan]

i have a small problem with my car. When travelling at 5-15 mph i can hear a buzz buzz buzz sound coming from the wheels. Sounds like there is something in one of the tyres but there isn't!
The car is fine at speed, no noise, no vibrating through the steering wheel and it doesn't pull to one side.

Im clutching at straws here?

Any ideas?

You on alloys or steelies ?

When I 1st got my car the Fiat wheeltrims used to make a clicking noise at the same speed. No idea why.

How worn are your brake discs?

its really difficult to explain. Buzz buzz is about the best. The discs and pads are fine it sounds like its clearly coming from the tyre. might take it to ats see if they can diagnose any problems. COuld it be suspension related? Bearings?
