Just thought I'd drop a line and mention that I got some new tires! No my hydroplaning for me

I bought 4 Fuzion Hri 165/85/R15 for a couple penny's under $300 installed. 40k mile warranty and free rotations every 5k miles.

All season and they are H rated! Not that i'll use it though lol

You guys ever heard of this brand? Being able to cut through puddles is a new feeling for me!

 

Fuzion sounds familar....dunno how it handles though. I went through several tire brands...Cooper to Bridgestone to Goodyear to Kumho to Michelin.

I think I'm gonna try Falkens next...just to see how "soft" soft really is.

 

I have Fuzions as well, and Im pretty sure mine are the HRI. I like them well enough, but they dont grip as well during cornering as I would like. My 225/45/17s set me back $525, be happy you only have to get 15s lol. Im really thinking Falkens for my next set too, although I like Yokohama as well.

 

OMG! Thats freaking expeeeeeeensive! Kinda makes me rethink about rims...

 

Thats not even that bad. It can go a lot higher, just depends on how bad you want that grip lol.

 

Looks like I wont be getting rims then b/c of the additional cost of new rims Grip doesnt really matter to me, I would rather have all seasons anyways.

Siiigh....

 

Agreed. I bought a set of snows and rims for my m3...that set me back a tad under 1100. Rims were 400 of that. I couldnt go smaller than 17's cause that's all that will fit over the brakes.

I will have to buy new summer tires for the car by the end of the season. If I stick with the Michelin PS2s that came with it, im out about 300 each (2x 225/40 R 19, 2x 255/35 R 19). I can get General Exclaim UHP's for about half that. Havent made that call yet.

Accord tires are cheap!

 

OMG! 1100 bucks?! Im assuming they are bullet-proof, run flats, and come with a free bar of gold!

Yikes is all I can say!

 

nope...17" Pirelli sottozeros on ASA JR6 (i think) alloys. They dont make 17" steels.

The joys of BMW ownership.

 

LoL yeah, when you buy an M3, you get a sweet car... but you have to be prepared for the extra cost too.

Look at the bright side, at least you dont have a Yukon on 26 inch rims or something. Those tires would be retarded expensive.
