"castleated tyres"

Hi, I am getting quite a lot of noise from the front wheels/tyres, I have been informed that they have gone out of shape and maybe faulty or been referred to as casteleated tyres, another garage has said it maybe the suspension/shocks. I have had the wheel bearings replaced in both front wheels as I thought the noise was to do with that. Has anybody else had this problem? Any advice greatly received.

Cheers.

Thanks for that link. So I better get a few checks carried out. I dont quite understand the confusion about tyre sizes, If it states in the hand book the tyre sizes then surely thats what you should have. Or am I a bit thick.

It sounds like it might be the same thing - when I got home I took it to a tyre shop and they showed me there were high and low spots all around the drivers side tyre - recommended that I got the bearings checked before replacement, they were ok.

Try rubbing your hand over the tyre surface, it was quite pronounced on mine, but I had been driving on them for too long.

No problems since replacing both front tyres 1000 miles ago.
