Why do car tires make noises when turning? What is the problem when car tires make noises when turning in winter?

Because of the tread pattern, the tire can grip the road well when the car is driving at high speed and is not prone to mistakes, especially when turning. So is it normal for the tire to make noise when the car turns?

Why do car tires make noises when turning?

1. There are too many foreign objects accumulated on the fenders or sound insulation pads of the left and right front wheels. When the car turns, the tires interfere with the foreign objects, causing abnormal noises.

2. The fastening screws of the fender or sound insulation pad fall off, causing the fender or sound insulation pad to lift up, causing the front wheel to interfere with it when turning, causing friction and abnormal noise. It is necessary to check the fastening of the fender and sound insulation pad, and eliminate the influence of looseness, lifting and other factors.

3. The car tires have been modified without permission, and replaced with tires of non-original size. For example, if the tires are widened or the diameter is increased, when the car turns, the tires will interfere with the car body at a certain position, causing noise. This is an illegal modification and poses a major hidden danger to driving safety. The tires should be replaced with the original size.

4. If the brake pad is newly replaced or sand has entered between the brake pad and the brake disc, it may cause abnormal noise. Of course, check whether the fixing screws of the brake disc are damaged.

What is the problem when the tires of a car make a clicking sound when turning in winter?

This is because low temperature makes the tires harder, resulting in a decrease in the grip limit. When turning, the tires' grip limit is exceeded, causing slippage. The abnormal noise is the sound made by the friction between the tires and the ground.

The composite materials commonly used in automobile tires are softer at high temperatures, especially for hot melt tires. They are harder at low temperatures, which results in decreased grip and adhesion, which reduces the vehicle's turning limit and acceleration/deceleration limit, causing slippage, and the sound is the abnormal noise of slippage and friction.

Many vehicles are equipped with all-season tires when they leave the factory. The name means that they can be used all year round. However, most areas of my country are located north of the Tropic of Cancer, and the temperature can basically reach zero degrees in the cold winter. Generally, when the temperature is below 7°C, if the car is not equipped with winter tires, it is easy to affect the grip effect due to the hardening of the rubber.

How to safely turn a car in winter

1. Know the cornering limit in low temperatures. The same corner should be taken at a lower speed than in summer to avoid skidding.

2. Install anti-skid chains in time in icy and snowy weather. If you encounter icy and snowy weather on the road and do not have time to put on anti-skid chains, you should maintain a larger safe distance, use the accelerator and gear to control the speed, avoid emergency braking and sharp turns, and control the vehicle's dynamics within the limit of tire grip.

3. Starting in second gear can reduce the vehicle's torque, making the instantaneous explosive force smaller and avoiding tire spinning when starting.

4. When shifting gears, it is better to shift higher rather than lower. Release the clutch gently in each gear to prevent instantaneous coupling from causing the tires to spin or lock, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
