Default rumbling noise rear wheels.

took the RS back to ford the other day cos it sounded to me as thou a wheel bearing had gone. they ended up tellin me it was because of a wear in the back tires. said they had unevenly worn and this was causing the noise. now 3 of my mates who own CTR's have said the same thing happened with theirs. if i had not heard it from them i would have caled ford all the liars going. has any one else hear had the same problem?

the ctr's suffer with alot of wheel noise down to the tyres specially with them bridgestones they come with standard. Ive never come across an rst that makes noises due to the tyres specially the rear id replace your wheel bearings just in case

The FRS does suffer from rear tyres going out of shape.... this is due to the massive camber settings on the rear of the car. If you swop the rears to the front it will be even worse and prove that it is the tyres mate.

Many have had the same problem including me, I thought it was a wheel bearing but swop the tyres round first and see.
