drone/warm tire
Hi all,
Just got in the car this morning and was getting a drone like I was running a flat, stopped ,not under inflated, noise is from the O/S rear, anyway drops the Mrs off at work gets home visual inspection nothing fowling the tire, no egg on the tire, but this was the strange thing the tire was hot, I have just come off a 430 mile round trip and did not notice any noise then ,tires not that old, any advice welcome, Have a full size spare going to swap it and see if its still there in the morning, John |

It sounds like your brake is binding.

If not a brake, is the wheel bearing on the way out and the wheel getting hot?
Has the upper arm collapsed and the wheel leaning over? macafee2 |

Have you actually checked the tyre pressure or just looking at it? Reason being I was caught out by a runflat tyre when I got my ZT, looked ok but had the droning noise. Worth a check.

I had this on my S type a few years ago. Culminated in a blowout on the M25. Apparently the carcass failed on what looked to be a good tyre.

Thats whats leaning me to the tire, if its out of shape it would not be running true hence the noise and the heat of the tire
