Hi all,
i can hear a very faint "tung tung tung" sound when car is moving....i tot was the wheels under inflated but after pumping to 33bar...still can hear the faint sound....
BTW my wheels are Yoko Db DNA which was changed in Jun 09....travelled abt 10,000km and yet to rotate....
Could it be just rotation problem or other problem?
Need advise.....
-
could there be a nail embedded in the tyre tread?
-
hhhmmm...possible cos 1 of the wheel seems to be more under-inflated than the other 3....
will try to pin-point that wheel again....
maybe will visit PH this evening.....
-
The last time I had this problem was also due to a nail in one of the tires. Try going from slow to fast if the thump thump sound starts to get faster and faster then its most likely a nail.
-
Yup normally theres something on the tire.
-
did you run the tyre over a rock? this causes the tyre to be bloated up and causes this tung tung sound everytime it rotates. you'll have to change the tyre to avoid puncture.
-
Come to think of it, yah I remembered running over a metal piece. The sound seems louder when speed increases.
Going for my 110K km servicing soon at AS likely this Friday. Will check it then.
Txs for all the advices
-
remember to check and ensure that all the tyres are pressurized before driving off since you want to wait till Friday
it may be a small puncture resulting in a slow leak
you would not want to damage your new tyre by driving when it is slowly going flat
-
My own ride had the same symptom after I changed to Yokohama C-Drive. I went back to YHI and the fellow found the cause - a piece of stone stuck in one of the threads. ::)
-
finally found the problem...as 1 bro said...1 nail embedded in the wheel that seems flater....
-
Justb back from PH. there are 2 nails embedded in same tyre instead of 1 nail
-
wah bro, you kanna sabo touch.. someone must be angry with you
-
Sure or not? I am a very friendly guy. The nails are those damn long type usually for airgun nailing of wooden crates. But seriously somehow I can still hear the same sound. Dun know is it whether other wheels got nails or not? Need to go AS on Friday for servicing then check.
-
the tires are already strain that's why you can still hear the sound. unless you dont mind changing new tires or else you just have to stick with it till you change new rubber.

people may be jealous that u r very friendly thats y sabotage u.... u also encounter it before... but mine not so lucky... have to change the whole tyre as the idiot pierce a small hole size of a pin into my sidewall....
-
any update after servicing at AS?
-
wow lau....u really follow up with my comments......
No nails were found in other 3 tyres......the "tung tung tung" sound also getting softer....could be due to the sticky patch material getting flatten after travelling.....
PS: For the servicing, I used X-Rev oil....the car feels lighter and accelerates more easily....
-
good to hear that only one tyre was affected
follow up so that we can learn from your experience .........
-
wow, i think i have to check on my tyres too. i have such sounds on one side too... :scared:
-
Eh me too, recently, but its from the steering column, only comes when driving at around 50km/h. Weird.

no prob.....forum is a good learning ground.....not like STOMP...1 post can get hit left right center
-
wau... what brand of tyre you using? got so many nail but never punctured or flated... :glare:
-
currently using Yokohama DNA dB ES501......the nails were embedded deep in the tyre.....
that wheel seems flater than the other 3 but not to extent of totally flat.....I drove for >1wk without realising it until the sound became obvious....then I went round the car to check....
my experience with Yoko tyres seems that it pick up nails or stones easily......last time used Yoko Aspec also same..1 nail embedded in 1 of the tyre....but using BS GR80 no such problem....
maybe becos of Yoko tyres tends to have 4 straight grooves...just my observation
