    Anyone had the following problem?
    Tyres that "squelch" at one particular point of the wheel. They seem to be
    fitted evenly on the rims.
    They are 700 X 25 Continentals.
    Any ideas?

    Cheers.

    are they brand new?

    some tyres squeak a bit when they're new, especially on corners. Someone told me the rubber has an injection-mold release compound on it that needs to be worn off before any fast cornering is done.

    Did you run over a spot of oil? That seems to do it for my Michelins.

    Do they have any tread? I find that true
    slicks do squelch quite a bit. I have
    Michelin Prorace 2s that squelch a bit.
    Most noticeable on smooth surfaces.
