When travelling slow on some road surfaces I get a noise like something is stuck on a tyre, sounds like its from the front, anyone had this problem, could it be something to do with the propshaft? It gets faster and slower depending on speed bout once at 25+ mph there's nothing?

Sorry for the obvious.... But have you checked all the way round the tyre for stuck stones etc?? Does the noise change if you brake? Previously..

To be honest I havn't tried listening with the windows down, I can feel it through the seat and the floor a little but nothing through the steering wheel, I'll give the tyres a good check over in the light tomorrow, could it be a wheel bearing? Thanks for the quick replies

Don't worry about bearings, shafts etc until you have thoroughly checked the tyres  Previously..

Yes I'll give them a good check in the morning and report back, strange how its only at slow speeds, hope its nothing serious

jack that wheel up and rotate the wheel, this might find the cause.. ... - .- -.

Have you changed your tyre recently.

if you have a spare set then change to them for a couple of days and see if it goes.  2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)

I've only had the car about 4 weeks, front tyres are Goodyear wranglers and about half worn, I'll jack it up in the morning and give it a spin and a wobble and see if there's anything obvious

I had something similar on the rear recently. Sounded like a stone caught in the treads.

Turned out to be a sticking caliper. Worth checking to see if pads on one side wearing faster/wheel hot after a run. Lloyd Barnes

I'd read about the rear Calipers sticking, would explain the lower speed noise, I'll whip the wheel off and see if they are free, I checked the rear wheels for heat the other day just out of interest but they were both cold, maybe not a long enough run

I had this, turned out to be one of the brake dust shields had rotted around the bolts and was wobbling around rattling and touching the disk as it was going round. One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Cheers ill take a look, cheers up to now everyone

Common for the splash shield to break off and rub against the disc, easy to repair by removing the bolts and placing a large washer between the plate and the bolt
