can someone please help on new tire purchase?

TahoeOG · 07-14-2009, 06:07 PM

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

falken 452 or toyo t1-R

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.

Gary@TireRack · 07-15-2009, 08:59 AM

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

SpmnE9zero · 07-15-2009, 09:08 AM

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

TahoeOG · 07-16-2009, 09:59 AM

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.

ebay

TahoeOG · 07-16-2009, 12:49 PM

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!!!!

TahoeOG · 07-17-2009, 07:29 PM
