Upgraded tire and rim problem on my 330d.

[topclub]

2.7 is high, could be a manufacturing fault on tyre

I have seen at least 3 other cases on this forum alone of these tires being badly manufactured (de-lamination/not round/ect) this is why I suspect the tire...

if it is not the tire then the wheel is to blame and is too smooth on the contact area with the tire

if both are not to blame then it has to be BECAUSE RACE CAR

My 323i had maxtrax on and had a out of round problem that was replaced by maxtrax . Worst tires ever made by the way . So I wouldn't be surprised wasn't the rims as I thought it was ... just a bad batch! Thanks for the post!

It's possibly the soapy solution they're using. Could maybe have a bit of oilyness in it. Can they not try to install the tyre without using the soap solution and see if it works?

i saw them doing that with dirty water... im gonna try use beadlock glue if they wont replace the tyre or dry fitting doesnt work. That should stick well.

Flip I never even thought about something like that when I changed my wheels. I used my original 19" RFT Bridgestones that came on the car with the M6 GC reps.
Twice now my tyre pressure monitor warns me that all Tyres are flat, I stop run the sensor and it sorts itself out. A bit weird.

But how did you notice the Tyres were slipping? Could you feel it?

I hope it gets sorted soon

My balancing went completely out . 100g felt like I was driving over a policeman every meter at 120km/h . Then confirmed it today with a mark on the tyre and rim.
Thanks man I appreciate it!

Hi guys , i recently purchased new rims and tires for my 330d e90 lci. They are 19s HRE reps with front yokohama f1's and rear achilles(265/30). This is the second time this has happened in a short while and is a huge irritation.
The rim spins inside the tire and goes out of balance when pushing the car!
The tire is at the correct pressure and the correct size for the rim.
:bangdesk:
Please help with any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

under "hard" acceleration, or under "hard" braking ?

On aircraft there are "creep" marks, red-painted line running from the tyre onto the rim, and is a pre-flight item, mainly because aircraft still use inner tubes and the associated risk of dragging the inner tube until it rips the valve out.

Achilles is not a bad tyre, but it could be that it isn't up to the job of your "spirited" driving style.
You could try the "bead glue" option, and/or you could try to slightly roughen the matching surfaces between the bead and the rim lip, and then increase the tyre pressure slightly...to allow for a better mating/gripping surface action.

alternatively buy a set of tyres for the rear that are truly up to the job of you spirited driving style
or drive like an "old" man....like me !

Thanks for the advice Ralf!
It's under hard acceleration . The funny thing is that I don't drive fast day to day . And the few times that I do boost it , it should be able to handle it accordingly. I never brake hard or launch it hard. Only rolling hard acceleration.
The aircraft tyres have large rim "slots" that the tyre can hold in to for those high touch down speeds where as my new rims are really smooth. Could be the rim...

The aircraft "creep" is a big problem when braking, where the braking force applied thru the hub, trying to slow down 50ton (B737) to 250ton(B747) and the friction causes the tyre to slip.
Touchdown is not really a problem.

So if the tyre slips under hard acceleration, then a "balancing" hard braking action should provide the counter slipping force and force the tyre to slip back to its original position...:rollsmile::rollsmile:

Freaking annoying problem!! I would do as most have suggested and try a different set of tyres!
