Tires: 2002 crv tires, cv joints, inflation pressure


Question
when i drive my crv i hear a noise from the tires a wrop wrop noise does any body know what this is? I rotate the tires every time I get a oil change.

Answer
Debbie,

There are a couple of possibilities:

- The tires have developed irregular wear - which is caused by misalignment and aggravated by insufficient inflation pressure and insufficient rotation practices.  This is the most likely source.

- The CV joints are starting to fail.

- The noise is coming from somewhere near the tires - perhaps the engine.

So you need to have someone look at the car.
