BMW Repair: alignment, falkin tires, falkins


Question
just bought a nice 1997 528i with 94000 miles.  I bought 4
falkin tires 225 r 15 and had it aligned at firestone on hunter laser machine.  car will still pull right on straight away worse at hwy speeds.  shocks seem ok -- any suggestions to correct this?

Answer
Phil, Falkins are low on my list of approved tires. Did this happen before tires and alignment? What are your tire pressures? Have you swapped tires from side to side? Did your alignment numbers look okay? Are any of your rims bent (wobble when spinning by hand when off the ground.)
Are your front control arm bushing good? Only good for about 60-75K on E39 six cylinder cars.
