I seriously doubt it being a wheel bearing. I have no bearing noise at all just just a loud droning/humming noise when braking at low speeds. I think its my rear pads, so im gonna replace rear discs & pads 1st. They need doing really and should cure the noise.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm going to buy some new front tyres, i can get Toyo T1R's cheap, is anyone running them? If so would you recommend?

I wouldn recommend the t1-rs if im honest mate, dont get me wrong in th dry when its warm there amazing because there soft and stick to the road but in any other conditions there not great and because there soft they dont last long

id recomend good year eagle f1's very good all round tyre

or i had a set of uniroyal rainsports which i was very impressed with!



on another note i also get the droning noise i think its coming from the front passenger side but am unsure! it happens when braking at low speeds also

replaced my rear discs and pads and that didn't make a difference at all still does it anybody know what it could be??
