I will check out the wheel bearings and see if that is what causing the noise.

Thanks.


u sure the brand is not Triangle and the Model is not Talon? if it is triangle tyres....those are quite possibly the worst tyres u can buy

^^^have to agree, i drove a stock 1.3 turbo starlet with those tires in slightly wet conditions. no traction in 1st or 2nd gear.......none, and it will still spin the tires once in boost in 3rd gear.....absolutely horrid tires :shock:

Yes, it is Triangle Talon tyres.

When taking sharp bends a little aggressively, there is a squeeeeling noise from the tyres.

Not impressed at all.

yeah, i will have to change them tyres.

Question: can i buy tyres with less of a low profile and still keep the same rims. I have 215/45/17. I think the ride will be more smooth with a higher profile tyre.
