M235i Alignment

Hi,
i did an alignment on my m235i and now there seem to be a dead spot in the middle of the wheel like it hard to go straight on highways
The thing is that im still with my winter wheels maybe thats why?
they are all 4 225/40/18
maybe with summer tires at 245/40/18 im hoping it corrects it ?

Like the car has issue going straight now but it seem perfectly aligned so i dont know what to do

plz help

Was there a dead spot before the alignment? Why did you have the car aligned? Does the shop specialize in European cars?

If it was done outside of the dealer or BMW specialist, did they mechanically align the car relative to the EPS (Electric Power Steering) centre and SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) zero reference? If not, they probably haven’t aligned the car correctly and don’t have the knowledge or equipment to do it properly.

Hi
I noticed that the front tires were inflated at 36-37 and the back at 40
i think they did that during the alignment it wasnt like that before maybe for precision
Could that be the reason i had an issue???
Cause now i tried it....it seem better but couldnt go on the highway yet will test correctly tommorow
But yeah they were a normal garage not specialized in german and im not sure what type of alignement they did
If it doesnt correct it what should i do

I had hit the back tire on a curl and was very badly aligned it was -2 of difference before they corrected it
so i needed an alignment i didnt hit it hard at all
