Noise Noise Noise
Help has anyone got the problem
The noise from tires on my new X5 loud.
I have had only the vehicle 3 weeks and I cannot stand the loud noise comings from the tires.
I understand normal road noises, but X5 makes more than normal. rough road, smooth road make no difference.
Had the vehicle checked at Paris delaer and told the noise was caused by dynamic suspension and large tires and was OK.
Help does anyone else get problem and is there a solution or isit normal as said delaer
Thank you

what tires do you have? 18",19"? 20"?

I have the 19s and the road noise is the same as my other SUV... nothing excessive.

I don't hear anything when i'm on a smooth road. May be i;m just naive but nonetheless, if that's the case, please.. leave me in my ignorance.

(i run on 20" Dunlop ROF in summer months, 18" Dunlop ROF winters now)

You should asked for 20" Dunlops, they are not as noisy as the Bridgestones.
