Hey,

I'm new to the board and am looking for advice. Just purchased Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S in the standard fitment mounted on original AMG monoblock wheels for my 2000 E55. When I do a slow speed turn, like when parking, the inside of the front tires sound and feel like they're rubbing on some part of the suspension. Tires don't make contact with anything when unloaded.

My intial thought is to exchange the tires and try another. My only other idea is to install the smallest H&R spacers (3mm) to move the wheel out slightly. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S - original monoblock AMG wheels on an 01 E55, no rubbing issues.

I would have your tire dealer/mechanic put it up on the rack and have them check it out.

 

Just a thought: What size tire did you apply? Front and rear?

 

The tire sizes are OEM size - 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear. Having the control arm bushings replaced. The current ones are worn and may be allowing the wheels to angle in slightly at the top.
