Hi.. to everyone looking
I have just recently had new Alloys(Inovit Manic's), Tyres(Federals) and Pads (delphi) fitted all round on my Stilo 1.9 JTD...
and I do understand new pads take time to "bed in" but I am getting a grinding noise still after driven 700 miles is this normal or not..? also there seems to be a considerable lot of tyre noise (I hope it is tyre noise) or can any of the above result in the new alloys .. I remember seeing a thread somewhere about the length of bolts used (I think)...
Anyway .. any info or advice will be well recieved..
Many thanx

if the bolts were too long, it would be a clicking noise, my pads took ages to bed in and quiten down, also depends on the new thickness of the pads.

if the wheels are bigger than the originals then there will be more road niose as there is less rubber on the tyres. lower profiles are noiser. nothing to worry about, unless its really bothering you

federals are also a hard compound tyre, that wouldnt help either:)

hope this helps
