I have a lot of road noise that seems to mostly coming from the front passenger side. New tires - continental all season extreme contact. The road noise persisted. I also have always had a clunking noise when turning tires at slow speed or at rest. Been a whirring/humming noise now for like 2 years without anything failing. Any ideas. No other symptoms even tires wear evenly.

My front passenger wheel makes a rubbing noise at 50 mph

You just need to have a mechanic or someone look at the front end. Has it been happening long enough to cause any odd tire wear on the tire? If the front end alignment is off, you could certainly get a lot more road noise, but even a badly worn tire would cause some noise.
If the tire is actually rubbing against something, and you hear it at 50 mph, that seems to indicate badly worn suspension parts- like ball joints or struts...so you should consider a good front end alignment shop and tell them the condition. They can check the tires and the front end as well. A reputable shop would check all that anyway, to make sure that the alignment job will actually keep the front end true.

I have a 2006 chevy equinox and the front passenger wheel makes grinding noises when you turn left and vibrates a lot when going down the road I have got all new tires and I replaced the wheel bearings...

If the axle nut isn't torqed tight enough, it can cause a lot of noise. Also if the brakes are worn out, it will cause a similar noise. The only other thing that comes to mind is if the splash guard is dragging on the brake rotor on the back side.

What the best tires for 2007 bmw 750i

Per TireRack.com, there were four tire size options for a 2007 BMW 750i starting at 18 inch going to 21 inch wheels. You will need to know what size you car currently has and whether they are staggered (narrow front/wider rear) or the same front/rear. You will also need to know if they are "Run flat" or regular. The site has good testing articles and ratings of various brands. The Uniform Tire Quality Grade number rates tire longevity (higher number lasts longer 100= approx. 7,200 miles) and the letters are for traction (AA is best) and temperature (A is best).
Continental Extreme Contact DWS is available in your size works well as an Ultra High Performance All Season.

I do not have winter tires and I am wondering what is the best winter tire for 525XI. I have Continental all season and the winter performance terrible.

Of coarse,All Season Tires, are not for snow

You need a couple of new wheels, and dedicate them to
2 snows, of your choice.

Look at tire rack.com, just for the tire tests,
then look locally for treads you like

There are better tires than continental

When you need 4 new tires look at Cooper
