Good morning my dear friends! how are you all doing?
Please I just changed my break pads for the 4 tyres and notice a little smoke coming from the wheel by the driver's side with a rubber-like smell after some distance, and also after some distance the 2 front wheels seem very hot while the 2 back wheels appear cold. Is it normal or should I have course to worry about? Ikenna, Smart and all friends help me here. thanks for your time.

Move this to cartalk.

Check the break pad to see that it is the recommended. Also, check to see that it is not to fat, else, your mechanic has to trim or smoothen the break pad. It would be causing your wheels to clamp but if nothing is done in time, it could damage your caliper.

thanks to you Philad. Please could you tell me which is the recommended for my car. the one I used is star.

I hear a noise like fififififi at the back wheel after some distance of especially using break frequently and thereafter, notice that the left back tyre is very hot more than the other right one. please what could be causing this and what do i do. erico2, ikenna, phil and everyone do help me urgently.

please I needed a cheap tyre for my c class and I bought 4 pieces of DEESTONE made in Thailand but, someone is saying that I should have gone for Achellis which is better. please someone with good knowledge of tyres should advise me.
