Ticking/Squeak after getting new KO2 tires. Anyone recognize this noise?

[ChrisV]

I got new KO2s today and after I left the shop I noticed this ticking. I think maybe it’s the wheel weights rubbing on something? Anyone ever hear this before or have this happen after new tires?

Video uploaded. Sorry for the loud wind, if you turn up your volume you can hear the tick/squeaking.

I had a car years ago that had chrome caps on the lug nut. After some of the caps came loose from the nut itself, they would make a ticking/clicking sound at low speeds.

I can hear the tick. Check for rocks in tje tread first although it doesn't really sound like a rock

If something is scraping at that particular point, you should be able to poke around the wheelwell and inside the wheel and see some fresh bare metal. Dust shields, stickon weights,...

Also, like @aandrews109 said, look at those lugnuts. if they are stock ones, the chrome cap is known to cause some heartache

Closing the loop here. It was the wheel weights rubbing on the caliper. Fixed now. Thanks all!

Excellent! Glad you found the issue!

Just yesterday after oil change and tire rotation it started making this noise. They swapped rear and front on the tires and the ones that came from the rear had the weights basically stacked on top of one another due to the extra clearance in rear around the calipers. Guess I get to go get them rebalanced later today with flatter weights. Thanks for posting the video.
