New Tires Tomorrow

BimmerGuyFL · 04-27-2011, 11:17 AM

Just ordered a set of Continental Extrem DW tires that will be installed tomorrow morning. Could someone here PLEASE post the correct alignment specs so my car will track straight since these tires are brand spanking new? Please Please post ASAP. Currently car is pulling to the right but my steering is perfectly centered. Please HELP!

Whatever shop you are taking you car to have it aligned should have the BMW specs in the alignment machine's computer. If they do not, go somewhere else.

This may be of some use. Keep in mind, these pecs came from a Hunter alignment machine's computer and if correct should be consistent with the factory specs. Not sure why the mods don't put a sticky up in this section for reference.

So since the roads here have a slight crown to the right for rain, does this mean that the alignment should have a bit more toe on in the right side tires on both front and back but with a zero thrust?

Why is it so difficult for BMW's to track straight? So many people seem to have problems with their cars on Alignments and pulling to the rigth, etc etc etc.

MacPherson strut with moderate to aggressive caster angle. Porsches have the same "problem."
