G05 X5 road noise

[70007]

Hi. Does anyone have an X5 G05 with 22” wheels. I get a fair amount of noise / resonance / whining type of noise above 120km/h. The car is super quite otherwise, just this “howling” noise above 120. Difficult to discribe.

Drive another one with different tyres,

Those 22's pick up buckles super easily. Take it for balancing and alignment, and check your thread wear. If either of them were off, the insides or centres get chewed up due to the nature of the Xdrive system.

Take it for high-speed balancing if you can. A lot of fitment centres in my area are using older machines, and some can't even do alignment on 22'' wheels on the X5. Best bet would probably be Tiger Wheel.

In future, do B&A every 10k KM to maximise Tyre lifespan and also alternate tyre pressures within the recommended range for both front and rear every now and again to manage thread wear (e.g 2.4 and 2.6 or 2.8 and 3.0 bars respectively).

I Don't think these 22's are practicaI for SA roads so I took off both mine and dad's 22'' wheels and swopped them for 20'' with RFT's and AT's (see Below)

Thanks, I”ll give this a go. Will do the B&A this week as a first try.
