So, about a month ago i traded my oem rims/tires for miro m6 reps with 225/35/19 tires in the front and 265/30/19 tires in the back the back tires are brand new. i do not know the rims sizes but the passanger side rear tires, and im assuming the rim has been rubbing against something because i went underneath the car today and noticed a layer of the tires on the inside part looks like someone put a cheese grader to it, and it seems like everytime i put air in the tire it just deflates the next day. the rims came off an pre lci e90 and my car is an lci e90, if the rims are rubbing wouldnt it rub all or atleast two of the rims. also i am planning to get rid of these rims, can someone post the sizes that wont rub on an lci 335 e90 sedan. also when im going less than 20 mph my car makes some wierd noises it seems like its coming from the tire, sounds like a squeak also it gets faster depending on my speed but after 20 it is not noticeable. im on stock sport suspension

The fact that you have a to put air in.....means you have a tear or leak.

I would not drive your car

well i know my tire is flat but it doesn't have any nails or anything visible in the tire, just wondering what happened.

maybe a rim is bent and that's why the tire is not holding air.

take it to a local shop it will take them 5 mins or less to diagnose the problem and u would be set to go

It sounds to me like you are having some extreme rubbing issues and the reason is most likely the offset of the rear wheels and tire sizes. The M6 type 346 wheel from a pre-lci e90 setup should be the 19x8.5 ET35 in the front and 19x9.5 ET33 in the rear (which can work so long as you run a stretched 255/30/19 in the rear). The optimal setup for your LCI E90 is the 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 in the front and 19x9.5 ET43 with a 265/30/19 in the rear.

Thats what i was thinking at first is it i was having rubbing issues but i checked the driver side rear tire and it is fine so unless i have two different rims offsets in the rear it not rubbing. maybe the tires got cut up because after i filled up the tires the night before i noticed it was flat. then the next day i drove it to work thinking it was fine. but i could feel that the tire was flat cuz when i was trying to drive hard, the car would fish tail like a muscle car. but other than hard i just bought 19x8.5 ET35 front rims and 19x9.5 ET 35 for the rear. im planning to have them in 235/35/19 and 265/30/10 in the rears.
