hi guys, I just have my M6 reps mounted on my E92 328xi today.
As i was testing the quality of the ride, the steering wheel vibrates when I go up to 60 mph.

and i noticed there is a strange sound coming from the tires as I was parallel parking. It sounds like the beeping sound when water is boiling.

I havent put on the TPM sensors yet but could this be a tire pressure problem?? and is there any potential safety issues?

Could someone please help me out?
I have very limited knowledge about cars.

Also has anyone heard of a tire brand "Mankang"? those are the tires I have on right now.

thanks everyone

i think you're trying to say 'Nankang'?

get some better rubber like PS2, CSC3 GYF1...that will probably solve your problem.

Nankang's aren't that good. Be careful in the rain. They do no offer much grip..

Hi Hao,

I am 99.99% sure that this can be fixed, by going back to the tyre place and

a) getting your wheels all rebalanced with weights, as well, see if you need a center cap ring to go on in the center of where the wheel meets the mounting.

As for your issue with the sound and parallel parkeing etc, I dunno, but I hope that maybe reblancing may help this too.

It will def help correct your steering wheel vibration issue, write back any feedback, once you've tried this.

And make sure they dont charge you for the visit, and too put the car up... because they should have done it right the first time..

There is one sugestion more...

I had also problem with vibrations of steering wheel and I went to balance my wheels.
It helped a little but still there was some small vibrations on the steering wheel.
I wend second time to balance the wheels but on the car.
It is common for RWD cars to balance the wheels on the car.
After I did it everything is OK.

German BMW services always balance the wheels on the car...

hi, guys.
will the tires rub if I lower it with a H&R spring? i have absolutely no rubbing issues now since its running on stock sports suspension.
and how is the ride quality?
would anyone share?
thanks!!!

[ozx5]

what is the exact wheel dimensions incl. offsets...and what H&R Springs..? obv. the sports and not "race" setup..??

[hao2003]

i have 19 inch wheels and the tires are 235/35/19 all around.

[Luki]

But what is the width of the rims and what is the ET

[Bimmer325]

you will not rub with 235 all round tyre.

the back of E90 can take a wider width rim than the front. so, all round, no problem..

hao,

buddy, did re-balancing fix the problem or not...??
