Brother if its ac bearing then it should come at all RPM settings. N it should not disappear in neutral parking and S mode. M i right? Its more like knocking sound. How can i b sure?

Go to a A/C specialist and ask him to check the A/C compressor pulley assembly for creating abnormal noise.
Ask him to disable the A/C drive (temporarily if possible) and then check for the abnormal noises.

Thnx a bunch man
Much obliged

[imrananr]

By hard i mean like when u have excessive air pressure in the tyres. Like the tyres r bumpy n making the whole car vibrate on even smallest of bumps. Like its not smooth if u lnw wht i mean.
N Yes v rightly said the same is mentioned on the door sticker.
Thnx a lot bro wil try to replace thm as soon as i get some extra cash.
Does the year of production also have an effect on it? Mine is manufactured in 2011. Are the old/expired??

Actually, when you purchase a new tire you are supposed to check the date of manufacture( on tire side wall) and it should be a fresh piece not more than 6 months old.
Next is the tread depth measurement and tire visual inspection to carry out a replacement or not.
When you have plans to purchase let me know, I shall guide you how to and what to check.

I am mostly out of country and am not aware of market in Pakistan.
But I can suggest you the Brands you should be looking for.

[waleed2409]

Ok tht wud b a lot of help fr me.
Which brands r good fr pakistn roads?

[imrananr]

The top brands are as under:

1) Michellin
2) Bridgestone

Try buying Michellin. Next is Bridgestone. I think you get Bridgestone Ecopia in Pakistan. Try getting European manufacture or Taiwan for Ecopia.
If you get European manufacturing (Spain etc.) it's best but a fresh piece not more than 6 months old. This is the rule of thumb. Try getting even fresher piece, perhaps 3 months old.
Buy radial A-symmetry tyres. Ensure your rim width is of the right size to fit in the required tire size. I think I have guided you earlier on this.
I personally like Bridgestone Turanza, but it's difficult to get a fresh piece in Pakistan. Michellin are the top most brand in the world, and are costly.

Why not go to Toyota 3S, provided you are talking about one.

But they know how to tune JDMs, never ever try any road side mechanic.
