Hmmm...maybe my calipers are playing up. But the pattern is the same....up to speed on motorway, a few miles of rumble, then fading away. Can get pretty intrusive. I'll check wheel play again.

If you recall what any other solution was, please let me know.

Thanks,
Zip

What make of tyres are on it ?
Does sound like sticking calipers but have heard weird noises off tyres that can come and go , maybe worth swapping wheels around to see if noise transfers

And as another suggestion, what are your tread depths all round?
