I bought four new summer tires a month ago.
Goodyear Eagle F1, size 215/45/ZR17.
I've now driven 2000 kilometers.
Lately, I've been hearing a 'thump-thump-thump' sound coming from the front axle 'sometimes.'
It's strangely only audible occasionally (perhaps related to the road surface?), and a bit more noticeable when braking.
Today, while driving at a very slow speed (approximately 10 km/h), I heard a sound like something large was stuck on the tire tread (a 'pfft-----pffffttt------pffffft' sound).
Then I drove to my tire dealer... and immediately took the car for a test drive.
And then, there was nothing more to hear (demonstration effect).
There is no noticeable vibration in the steering wheel, or any other imbalance.
Does anyone know what I could do?
Thank you!
Razor.
Golf IV AJM TDI (115 hp), 90,000 km, first registration 2002.
BBS multi-spoke rim, 8.5 x 17 inches.
I once had something similar; there were tar residues in the tire profile. Apparently, something had been repaired somewhere, and the sticky substance adhered to the tires. This caused a 'sticker noise' for a while.
Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

Hello, maybe your brakes are worn out... I had a similar sound, and I quickly replaced them before the rotors were damaged.
