I went to my local townfair tire shop today to replace my dunlop runflats with dunlop direzza non-run flats DZ101 DIGI-TYRE. I was watching them the whole time while they took off my wheels from the car. They had a lot of trouble trying to remove the run-flats from the rim. So i saw them do alot of prying and pulling using their machine and turns the wheels in circles. Then they did an alignment on my car using the "hunter" machine. They had specs for the 545i with sport suspension and active steering.
Now the question is now i have a vibration that was not there before even with my bald tires. Vibration is throughout the whole car, and less in steering wheel but it might be there too. I suspect these things, either they bent a rim somehow while doing all the prying. Or the balancing is bad, which I brought the car back to do a balance 2 times now and it didn't go away. Last thing which i think might be possibility is that alignment guy messed up something with suspension? Or could it just be a defective brand new tire. Big question is does anyone know how to find out whats wrong?? I hate vibrations. Thanks. I'm going in today to have em check it 1 more time. They might dismount the tire and rotate 180 degrees, but that will be moving the problem and not fixing it. What could we look for when they dismount to see that its really a bad tire.
I have the 18 inch style 124 with 275/35/18 in back and 245/40/18 in front. Also, what is the proper tire pressure. The door said max load is 35 front 42 back. The other number for 4peeps max is 32 front 35 back. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
