wrangler noise
picked up a set of HSE alloys with goodyear wrangler m+s tyres a few weeks back but noticed what sounds to me like a bearing rumble on overrun ,especially in the wet ,is this a typical of the noise of these tyres as before with my budget nexun road tyres didnt notice much road noise .
i know that the M+S is mud and snow so obviously a more hybrid winter tyre , but cant see that the block pattern is that aggressive to cause the noise . anyone run these who can advise if normal MY05 SE D3 Manual my first LR what a car

Totaly normal to have the "bearing paranoia".You will get used to the noise in time.

Not just the Wranglers....I noticed a rumble/drone between 50-60 when I put the GG's on the 3.....as Brian says,you just get used to it... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Wranglers get very noisy when you're down to about 3-4mm of tread. Before that they are OK.

If they are the ones you had off me I didn't have any rumble from them far from it, it was a dream to put them back on after a winter of drumming from GG AT2s. I have a new set of Wranglers sat in the garage waiting for winter, the AT2s have gone to another home. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

They only become noisy because they have not been turned round as per service schedule Feel the tread with the palms of your hands and if steps can be felt on the tread pattern when rubbing forwards, simply swap from side to side or better still diagonally if they are in balance, rumble gone It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
