Tire Noise

Robscountach · 11-26-2023, 07:54 AM

Hello !
Just picked up 2022 228ix GC. Not my first BMW; had M3, M5, X3, older 840ci. My issue is tire rotation noise; mostly from the front. I've had plenty of RunFlats in my day without issues, but its not a whine more deeper.

Anyone else?

What brand and model of tires? How deep is the tread? These cars don’t have the best sound insulation.

My Pirelli summer run flats were noisy from the get go and only got worse as they aged. I eventually replaced them with Bridgestone Driveguards and couldn't be happier. The Bridgestones are really quiet.

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, and they're quite noisy.

I'd never noticed this until I took a road trip with the wife. Our tastes in music are very different, and I finally got to listen to the car with no music playing. FAIL!

Those tires are tolerable only on the smoothest of surfaces; otherwise, I feel like I'm inside a drum.

My knobby Blizzaks absolutely howl on the highway compared to the PS4S summers.

It wouldn't hurt to check your wheel bearing if it seems to come from one side/corner, but a 22' shouldn't have to worry about those for a long time. manufacturer defects aren't unheard of. It would be under warranty anyways.

Thanks EVERYONE for the responses. The car only has 7k miles so tread is great; Pirelli RunFlats.

I did check and it does have that fender/door seal folks mentioned on other threads. Perhaps its just the tires?

Bridgestone DWS 06 are pretty quiet. Stick pretty good for all season tires. Not great on snow.
