Very important! Very uneven wear; wires visible on tyre; assistance needed.

There are 124,000 miles (210,000 km) on this 2011 BMW 323i U1 sedan with the VIN number E90 (MUE) and the body style Type PG77.


The problem only manifests itself with the back tires.
In 2020, I purchased IRONMAN rear tires, and they served me well until May of 2025.

2025 Last week, I got stranded in the road after getting fresh new KUMHO rear tires. I had driven around 35,000 or 20,000 miles since May 2025. I noticed that both tires looked like this:

My rear tires never make a sound whether I drive over bumps, corners, curbs, highways, or anywhere else. I had my tires aligned four years ago. Is the pressure on them low? while driving in the cold with low tyre pressure


Is something wrong with this?

I am concerned that the same thing could happen to my brand new Good Year tires, which I have purchased. 😞 😞

I appreciate it.

Problem with alignment, caused by either the alignment itself or the geometry change caused by worn bushes.

[MutanX]

First, I'd straighten out the bushes. Then, I'd get the alignment checked.
Even if they're fifteen years old already, they may be the originals.

[Automan]

however, no outward signs such as a rattling, loudness, etc.

In most cases, worn rubber bushes won't produce a sound.

[rauman]

You won't always hear a peep of movement in the bush if the bushes are worn.

I had a tyre similar to that on my MG ZT CDTI (BMW 320D engine) around two weeks after it was new. It was on the back, and I had to replace it along with a pig. I can't remember the exact name of the bush, but I'm sure it had the word "toe" in it.
