i have a e220 -17 with amg styling. Nice car and love it BUT i have a sound coming from the front left tire.
Its most prominent at 50km/h (apox 30mph) then almost disappears at around 60-65km/h (38-40mph), then u can hear it again when u drive faster 70-85mph
its sounds like a tire sound or some resonance coming up to the cabin from the tire.
Both summer and winter tires makes the sound. I have made an wheel alignment. I even changed the front left wheel bearing.
anyone had similar problems and maybe have a solution? 😛
Sounds like your wheel may be bent. I had a similar issue and all 4 of my AMG wheels were bent. The AMG wheels are notoriously prone to getting damaged by potholes and such, according to the guy that straightened my wheels and also my M-B mechanic. The good news is, they are also pretty easy to fix. Make sure you get the wheel/tire balanced once the wheel is fixed.

did u hear a sound at all speeds? Or more at certain speeds?
did it also sound like a ”tire roar” ish kind of sound?
Are you changing wheels and tires or just tires from summer to winter?
Easy troubleshooting step is to swap left and right front wheels and see if the sound moves with it. If it does, it's the wheel or tire.
yes wheels, both rims and tires
i tried that with summer wheels. but sound was still there. But Both front summertires where a little bit uneven or ”cupped”
i also feel car is little bouncy or wobbly in the morning first minutes or so

You've pretty much reduced it to the only source being the prop shaft cv joints either in the hub or exiting the transmission/transfer case (not sure what it is called in this case). This all presumes that you have AWD! Not an E220 drawing but if AWD you'll get the idea.
