Never heard of the Arroyo Grand Sport All Season tires, you sent me down that rabbit hole of research and the few people that have them seem to be happy with them. I mean a set off four tires is about the same price for ONE Perelli P Zero All Season rear tire lol |

No suspension noise. There is a bit more tire noise but I bought the rims used with Conti's that have about 5k miles on them already and expected a bit more road noise from the tires.
I am noticing an interior cabin rattle/vibration sound which appears to be coming from the pilar behind my head where the seatbelts are for both the driver and passenger sides. It isn't always there but appears on rougher pavement. I don't notice it with the sunroof open or with music on, but if the cabin is closed up with the radio off it sounds like a tinny-sounding vibration just behind my head near the windows/pilar. I thought it might be the rear sunshades so tried driving with them raised/lowered which didn't seem to make a difference. I don't think it is from the suspension but is probably a by-product/result of the slightly stiffer ride from the 22"s and possibly the H&R springs. It just didn't materialize with the 20"s and floaty stock ride. Interestingly enough, I've seen others reference (similar?) noises coming from the door/pilar area and some have indicated it could be the weather stripping? I really have no idea. I need to go back to the shop that did the install for something else and plan to ask them what they think it might be. Fingers crossed it's something easy to address. |

I was just stating after doing my own research and talking with our BMW sales agent and someone in the warranty department we were directed to stay closer to the stock 22" width's/offsets. The X5 is my wife's car so I'm trying to keep all the modifications as close to OEM spec as possible, its so hard to resist lol. She also has the BMW wheel and tire warranty which was why i was checking in with people at the dealership that we would still be covered. Regardless, I'm still super pumped to see them on your car. |

With regards to the noise you’re hearing, I had a similar one on the passenger side. From what I have been able to detect, it comes from the sunroof where the two panels meet. I used felt tape on contact points and apply Pflege on the rubber seal periodically, which seems to help.

Ride quality is stiffer than with the stock springs and 20"s which is to be expected. I drive a E63s AMG which is on the stiffer side so the 22"s and H&R setup feels better to me. Think it really comes down to if you want a sportier or floatier/comfy ride. Goodluck! |
