I recently have been noticing a distinctive sound coming from the drivers side tires. Its making a swish swish swish sound when driving at low speeds. You cannot hear it at higher speeds. I tried to lower the tire pressure and then added more than normal. Has anyone had anything like this or heard of anything. I have tried searching all around and even called the dealer. Could it be from an uneven tire wear if I had too much pressure in the tires for an extended period of time? Please help, its getting warm and I have to drive with the windows up so I dont hear it.

I'd also like to know the source of this swishing noise. Ever since I bought my 335 in February I've heard the same noise your describing. I seem to only notice the noise when taking off from a light in first gear at low speeds.

I am not positive but I think my tires had way too much pressure in them for the winter. I had the tires pulled to check my brakes and the tech lowered the pressure in the tires. My thought is maybe they had uneven wear. I am not sure but thats my guess. The tires make the noise when turning or going straight and its not the brakes or anything else. If it was uneven wear, I am wondering if the sides will catch up to the middle and balance back out. Again, I am not sure but I am sure that I dont feel like buying new tires.

your tires are chopped on the inside..uneven wear per tire press being either to much or to little, does it get louder when u come to a stop at low speeds? If soo. than your tires are shot..they may have plenty of thread life, but their still shot per choppiness..
