can someone please help on new tire purchase?
Hey guys i have a question and hope you guys would be able to help. I am in the market for new tires. I have winter tires/rims package already blizzaks and i'm 100% happy with them. I own a 2007 335i Coupe w/ Sport Package 18".
So my sport tires have bubbles all over the place, and well i was goign to change them last summer but ended up i had an expense (wedding) so i didn't, luckily fall hit and i changed to the winter and they are great for the winter. LOL well, it's middle of summer and i'm still on my WINTER TIRES, and i hate to use them because i don't want to wear them out. They are so good. Sooo i was originally going to buy rims/tires BUT money does not allow me to do that at the current time. Sooooo I want to buy Tires. I have a limit of $150 on the front tires. Less would be better for me. So i will only be using them for spring, and summer, for fall and winter, i will use winter package. I'm in tire rack and they don't have Proxes t1r as the STS recommended. I figure i would check here first. What do you guys reccomend for the money? I want something great for dry and good for wet. I do NOT track my car, and only drive up to around 50-80mph. BUT sometimes on the highway i open it up and can go up to 120mph MAX.... well so far. Would like to one day go to a track but that's not in my near future. I will be keeping my original 18" sport package rims. Please help. here is what looks good to me: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2<--- i like Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport General Exclaim UHP Yokohama S.drive Thanks

do you have bubbles on all 4 tires?
if its only 1, i would look for a pair of used runflats here on the forums and just swap for now. save $$ for the rims you were planning on getting. |

Agreed. Better to find some used runflats rather than to mix your existing rear runflats with non runflat tires up front.

Do away with RFT's all together and just get the Falken 452's.

Hmmm ok. I guess now all I have to do is find a web site that sell the falke. Or the Toyota for cheaper since tire rack does not carry Toyo. Anyone reccomend a place. ? Btw I'm in new jersey.

ok so after searching around ebay and stuff i found this to be a good price. Does anyone have feedback on this place? discounttiredirect.com?
If yes they are selling the rear falkens for 171. Which i believe is GREAT! for each. on ebay it was 191 plus 15 shipping. BTW i see the Hankook Ventus has 5 star rating and is only $2 more than the falken? Anyone care to advice please. BTW thanks for the responses, I'm going to purchase today. My dad saw what i was checking out and offered to pay for my rear 2 tires, which is GREAT!!!!
