    increases when I increase my speed. I initially thought this was a simple alignment issue, so I took it in to the BMW garage to fix.

  • BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 04 2.0 Unenven tyre wear 13 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    this has happened. Is it that the wheel just wasn't balanced properly (which will be remedied by new tyre being fitted)? As it's the rear, it's far less likely to have be knocked out of alignment than the fronts. All the other tyres are wearing normally. I'm also worried I'll pay for expensive

  • Passat uneven tyre wear 27 Aug 2001 (Forum)
    " of the outer edge of the nearside tyre has worn unevenly, suggesting that that something's out of alignment.
