The problem only appears on the outside edges, and the car is properly aligned.
I took the car to the dealer and they said this was normal wear for a 550GT with staggered tires. The rear tires show similar but less pronounced wear patterns. This results in an annoying vibration in the steering wheel a lower speeds, which is lessen noticeable at higher speeds. The tires still have 6/32 of tread, but the dealer says they need to be replaced to solve the vibration.
Have other 550GT owners with the staggered setup experienced similar tire wear results? |
Wtmeyer,
All BMW in my family does that some how... I was told it the way it's setup, but I might be wrong.....
even you can't rotate them... but you can still switch them from left to right...
I do that every 5000 miles.... it helps alot you can give that a try next time
