my experiences

as i was driving on sunday,temp cool down abit, decided to roll down window abit.
Thats when i heard ticking sound, more frequent as speed increasse. so I think **** I got a nail in my tire. drove for anothe 15mins the tick was gone. stop at a home depot parking lot, rolled car around to check for nail, no nail found.
I know It had be nail in the tire from past experien . I examine little more. I notice there are two solid band of tred on the center of the tire. there s a groove inbetween these two groove is justsmall or big enough to grab hold of little rocks, there weere atleast 7 little rocks stuck between the groove on every tire. the sound that i had must have been a big rock that was stuck in the grovve and when away when it fell off. I think bad tread design has anybody had this experience.

Yep. I also have a more permanent sound coming from a screw in my tire. I'm hoping this tire can be patched. Asked in another thread, but no replies yet.

Good new is, the pressure monitoring system gave me plenty of warning.

Thanks, I noticed an odd ticking sound that went away. I have a rock driveway. I'll check on that if I hear it again.
