Hello

I just bought a touareg v6tdi it drives really nice no rattle or clonks from suspension or drivetrain. But I have a noise with new tyres not 4x4 ones. I think you herar a noise ay 50 60 mph and when the tarmac changed it feels noise reduce but it sound that it comes from passenger site front it's a RHD touareg.Is a wheel bearing issue a command problem? Many thanks for any suggestion

If they're BF Goodrich Urban Terrain, they have a noise rating of 72 Db which is noisier than average.

Check the tyre pressures and adjust to the figure on the driver's door post - tyre fitters often set pressures too high.

I bought the touareg today :) I check the tyre pressure but I will drive them on the lift to check the bearings but normally defect bearings change the noise on different load the sound here is always the same 140thm may I buy other tyres when the rest is ok

Run your hand over the tread to check for cupping. If not you may just have a noisy model/brand of tire.

Tire Cupping: Tire Wear Patterns, Causes & Symptoms | Goodyear Tires

If your tire tread appears worn with scallops or dips, your tires may have a tire wear pattern called “cupping” and could be related to your suspension. Learn causes and ways to prevent it.

Excellent recommendation. If you dont rotate your tires every oil change you'll beat the crap out of them, like cupping, feathering etc.. which can make your ride LOUD, bumpy and miserable.
