I've noticed lately a strange noise coming from the rear of the car when on the motorway. It's like a rumbling noise. Someone said sawtoothing, I've had a look and the tyre wear seems even so I don't think it can be that?
Anyone had anything similar? I'm thinking warped discs or failed bearing?
I'm on 30,000 miles nearly in case that helps.
Rear wheel noise.

Re: Rear wheel noise.
What tyres have you got on the rear? I had terrible issues with some Dunlop's, I swapped them onto the front to see if I could feel the vibration through the steering wheel and it was quite apparent where the problem lied. The tyres felt awful so had to get some new ones, after I got the new tyres it was completely fine.

They are the original pirellis on the rear. Still with loads of tread left.

Re: Rear wheel noise.
Lift this wheel and try to rotate it with hands. This is easiest way to check ;-) It is possible that You may have to refresh / clean brake systems on this wheel...
