Can anybody help me. Yesterday I went to tyre workshop to change front tyres to back tyres and vice versa. But then I notice this humming sound from the front tyres. It get louder with increasing speed. What the problem?

Thanks for your info. My car is MyVi 2010 and milage about 40000 now. The front tyres quite worn out that why I interchange them with back tyres. Done quite a reading and many suggest that it due to wheel bearing. I guess need to go to workshop again to find out.

One more question, is this condition can become dangerous if not treated fast enough? Because I traveled ~110 km perday

You still remember right I'd said that I just swap the rear tyres (which is still in good shape) to the front (which is quite worn out). Then I start heard a humming sound when driving and get louder as the speed increases. Last Thursday I had changed the worn out tyres (which is Goodyear) to brand new Continental tyres and swap them back to front. I also ask the mechanic to do balancing, alignment and check the brake and the absorber.

Guess what, the humming sound is still there but not as loud as before. I also try speeding until 110km/h then free gear to hear whether the humming sound still there and it is there = ="

So in your opinion, does this problem originated from the wheel bearing?

my car is 2010 and my ride is not bumpy.. it just the humming sound but it is now slower after changing new tyres.
and yes at 30km/h already can notice the sound.

about the engine mounting I have no idea, will have a check later.

So, this weekend I plan to go again to workshop. So what area do I need to ask them to check?

I'm not quite sure but I think this model:

195/55R15 Continental Comfort Contact 1 - RM175

Hi all, I have many questions in my mind right now. Hopefully someone can enlighten me about it.


I am currently driving MyVi SE Manual 2010 and mileage about 40000 km already. Ok, about last month, I noticed 2 things about my tyres, (1) my front tyres had worn out already and (2) there are a humming sound came from my back tyres. So I changed the front tyres to Continental and back tyres to Silverstone. The mechanic said the humming sound is came from the uneven tyres surface resulting from the old absorbers.

So I changed the both back absorbers with new one. 1 absorber cost RM 80 so both cost me RM160. But after that when I drove the car, it not smooth anymore. Feel really bumpy and "keras".


1. Is this bumpy and "keras" feeling is from my cheap absorbers or is it from the new tyres? (Maybe new tyres a bit hard? I don't know lol)
2. If it is from my absorbers, do you recommend me to change to new more branded and good quality absorbers or just use this first?
3. can I know the brand and price of decent absorbers currently in the market?
4. Best for me to change the absorbers (if recommended) at the Perodua Service Centre or just any workshop?
5. One more thing, when I going down a hill, when braking, the stearing will vibrate.. What are the possible causes? Is it the braking problem? Also when driving in high speed then braking, the car will "tersentak-sentak" one.

Good morning guys,

I have few questions to ask. I noticed my left back tyre become uneven already, can hear the hissing sound. I using myvi btw.

1. Is it still safe to continue driving using uneven tyre? The tyre tread depth is still ok.

2. If not safe, do I need to change both of back tyres? because both of the back tyres are different brands. One is Conti and one is Silverstone. The uneven tyre is Silverstone. I believed it become uneven because of me using different brands. Please correct me if im wrong.

3. So last one which tyres you guys recommend? Think of getting Michelin


Silverstone will not in my list anymore. Last time both of my back tyres are from SS but after using only about 2-3 month, one of them become "bengkak" and I changed it to Conti. Then now become uneven pulak

Thank you guys for your input and advices. I think I gonna go with XM2. Will go change this weekend

hello guys,

i wondering for those who had changed their tyres, do you offer to sell your old tyres to the tyre shop?or they just take the old tyre just like that?
