My Caddy.

[ian-213]

evening all,

So Ive changed the rims on me caddy,




i can hear like a whining coming from the front passenger wheel, Any Idea's.

What with the van being fairly new, i can't really think what it could be, also i never heard it with the 19s on?

Any pointers Welcome, ian

On my MY11 Caddy Maxi Life, this turned out to be "scalloping" of the tread in around 12,000 km. Mine came with asymmetric tread tyres. Thes need to run at a pressure of at least 40 psi, however the dealer reduced this to 30 - 32 psi. The asymmetric tread sees a lower rolling resistance on the inboard half compared to the outboard half and with low pressures sees the inboard sidewall dragged ever so slightly compared to the outboard sidewall. As a result the tread is squirming and wears like you have excessive toe-in.

My dealer agreed but said they can only sell them new with the tyres VW fit to the cars.

There are plenty of non-asymmetric tyres available.

We have had a lot of problems with budget directional tyres, especially primewell. Try swopping front to back if tyres are different to c if noise goes away.
