Your brakes are making a grinding sound when you apply the brakes on a vauxhall zafira?

The grinding sound means that the brake pads are worn down to metal and that sound you hear is metal to metal. you need to have the pads changed, the problem is that you will more than likely have to change the rotors also. The way to avoid this in the future is when you notice your brakes are making a squealing sound that means that the pads will need to be changed soon.

What is making grinding noise in tires even when you are not using the brakes?

It's your vehicles way of telling you to change your pads. If the grinding noise is present when you use the brakes, the pad is almost gone. If the noise is present after the brake has been released you're getting close to damaging the rotor and you need to put pads in asap.
