2024 BMW i4 — new tires are much louder than the old set

NewCarNomadCommunity StarterMar 27, 20262024 BMW i4 eDrive40Nashville
Same size and pressure, but the new tires create noticeably more highway hum. Is this usually tread pattern/compound, or should I verify balance and alignment before blaming the tire model?

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 BMW i4 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Nashville. Did the worksheet show tax yet? This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I parked the 2024 BMW i4 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 BMW i4 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Nashville. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Agree — and I'd add this: On the 2024 BMW i4 in Nashville, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “new tires are much louder than the,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
