Should I replace these

Damaskus325 · 10-14-2024, 12:34 PM

Just wondering what you guys take is. I've had these DWS 06 Plus for 32k miles from new and the inside shoulder on the rears is becoming worn down it seems. I know these cars have negative camber from the factory so it is normal. I went ahead and ordered a new set that are scheduled to be put on in the morning. Am I just being paranoid here? Winter is coming and I just want my tires in order. I am also getting prepared to start a new career (once I find one) and want my car ready to commute if the need is there. I have had a corporate vehicle for 17 years so I am not used to driving my car daily. Thoughts?

weather cracks, age? for summer, probably not, just run a lot more psi to compensate for edge wear. your situation, yeah

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. They have also started to develop a slight howl. I think almost 3 years and 32k for the way I drive is pretty good.

Its amazing what new tires do for your ride quality. I was thinking that the howl may have been a bad wheel bearing. New tires and its like a new car again. Funny thing is the fronts are from the old set and no issues. I swear there was a time BMW had specific tires for the rear camber. I would love to find a set of those.

every car make has a specific tire spec compound, bmw is the star symbol. tire probably had inner cupping/feathering. e9x have issue with rear camber curve causing severe inner wear under compression, best thing you can do is align the car with least camber setting and replace the rear shock or upgrade them to monotubes
