Not trying to stir shit here but gotta ask, but arent the pures playing up ? Whats the go with the sale ? Does the new owner know that they were rattling and starting to smoke ? I feel like this is somthing that should be cleared up given the small size and tight nature of this community. I only ask because nothing is said about that in the add.

It's cause I'm an unscrupulous bastard and am trying to offload a dodgy set of turbos mate lol

Seriously now people who know me know I am overly transparent. The smoking turned out to be because I overfilled my engine with oil and the rattle is minor and has been there since install. But all that aside when they come off they will have a full inspection and will be rebuilt or exchanged under warranty. So the buyer is will be getting a perfect or new set of PS2s. It is a small community and full of great people, we want to keep it that way.. it's posts like yours that helps make it what it is. Keep up the good work bro

The advans he's referring to arent the A050's, but the V105's I think theyre called?

NT01's are too hardcore for the street, in a car that sees daily use and constant heat cycling and wet weather

I wouldn't bother with PSS or V105's, if NT01/A050 are too hardcore for daily use I'd try NT05 or Kumho KU36.. they are cheap enough are wear pretty quickly if you don't like them

What didnt you like about the NT05's?

I guess being a 135i you can only run 235/255's?

I was running 225/255 PSS, now running 235/265 NT05. They don't really hook up that well in 2nd/3rd gear even when warm (considering my moderate level of power, i can't imagine 350-400kw on these), quite noisy too.

I regret not buying AD08/A050 as i rarely drive my car

Yeh the AD08s are a nice tire
Why not sell the NT05s and buy a new set?

+1 for the Flow Designs front lip. Tough bit of kit, and you dont cry so much if you scrape it (as opposed to CF).
