I have,what has been diagnosed as, "tire noise",on 2000-528 w/SptPkg.,235/45-17(Conti),less than 23K mi. "Cupping Wear" on inside corners of all four tires. Has anyone had this problem? What did you do? Does anyone rotate their tires, even though BMW does not recommend tire rotation?

In any case, yes, you should be rotating.
