Hello everyoneFor a while now I've noviced a slight audible clicking sound coming from the drivers side front wheel. When at slow speeds I can't hear it, it only seems to appear between 50-60km/h. Is this anything to be to concerned about?

I hear the noise as well. The cause of noise for me is the hub cap clicking on the steel wheel at certain speeds.

I had a clicking sound in my wheel well, which clunked heavily when I drove over potholes. In my case it turned out to be a dead wheel bearing.

Mine is a very faint clicking and it comes and goes, and I don't hear it when my winter rims are on that's why I figure mine is the hub cap.

Do you hear it better with the window open?Have you checked the treads for foreign objects? A rock in the groove or a nail/screw in the tread?

Check the treads for stones jammed in the treads. I get tapping noises all the time after I drive on a stone road because little pebbles jam in there.
