Humming from rear right hand side of car

[jme144]

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before? Anyone know what it could be? I've had it looked at thinking it may be the wheel bearing but the last mechanic said there was no problem with it. He reckoned it may be down to the fact the rear right tyre is budget. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

Bearing, tyre, feathering?

I'm not car savvy at all, but on about three previous occasions when I've had work done each mechanic has ruled out the bearing. And as I said, I'm not mechanically minded whatsoever so forgive me when I ask what feathering is? They tyre is a proper dogshit accelera jobby so I'm wondering if that is enough in itself to cause a very noticeable humming when going past 40

Be the tyres if not the bearing.

Would poor alignment have any impact?

Nope. Get decent tyres.

Been there done that

Any suggestions? Bearing in mind I've only recently(ish) put a couple of kumho's on the front

What size mate? Trust me budget tyres are just that. Assume you have a clio?

I had some cheap tyres on mine when I bought it, they had worn into the shape of a hexagon on the rear inside and was making a sound like this , I thought it must be the bearing until I saw the tyres

It's the tyre, they're total turd, we used to sell those for mondeo fitment to other garages for £12 a unit and make a profit, as bad a camac and linglongs..

Life with it or get some tyres and don't get toyo t1r, they're turd on a Clio.. Stick with something good, Pirelli do well but I went back to michelins.

At the moment my tyres are all 205/45/16. Would there be any benefit/ downfall of putting 195's on?

 

[imprezaworks]

Benefit would be cost mate. But as you have a pair of new ones I'd just buy another couple or just the one

Just in case anyone was interested, bought two new eagle f1's and moved the kumhos to the rear and hey presto no annoying humming above 40. Cheers chaps
