Fresh Rubber

AlteredBe4st · 05-11-2011, 08:45 PM

Great tires, I was a little worried about the noise level but they are not bad very similar to the PS2 noise level. Great handling tires better than the PS2.

Nice!

I'm going Advans 100%

1cleanm6 · 05-12-2011, 03:51 AM

Love these tires so much, transforms the car. Car is handling so well

Im running 245/275 ad08 tires right now and they run so much bigger then its actual size.

I compared the 275ad08 to a 295ps2 and its literally almost just as big.

jonasaurus · 05-12-2011, 06:04 AM

I anything the tread on the Advans look amazing lol

You got more rubber than a Gene Simmons-ready concert tour bus.

1MOREMOD · 05-12-2011, 07:10 AM

Yep nice I got those advans too and love em, I have a square set up of 265\30\19's and they are awesome. Little less grip wet than the ps2s but the dry they rock!

klammer · 05-12-2011, 08:31 AM

I think these are the best performance tires out there for double duty. I'm running a 265/295 staggered setup and these things are like glue on the track. Awesome tires, but agreed are just a bit lacking in the rain or cold, but in the dry when it's warm.... Awesome

What wheel size are you running in the front? I may go that route in the future.

GT3 Tim · 05-12-2011, 09:52 AM

I got a nasty vibration in the front at speed. I was watching when the force balanced them and the fronts were spot-on. I guess I will have to go back and have them recheck though....I get some pretty good wheel shake at anything over 60mph or so.

m3pete · 05-12-2011, 10:05 AM

Hey Tim,
Who did your install?

GT3 Tim · 05-12-2011, 02:04 PM

Hey Pete....

OK Tire on Auburn Blvd. They have a force balancer. Ask for John Dacy (Manager) at 331-2751. They give a BMW club discount.

Funny thing is, it USED to be like $8/tire to mount/balance...killer deal!

I went it and it was like $118 for all four this time....they said it was more because the lo-pro tires are a PITA to mount...I watched them and it took two guys to get them on...and it wasn't easy, so I understand the price.

I asked about the discount and he said that WAS the discounted price. I was like f'that, I'll go elsewhere next time.

HOWEVER, although my receipt said $118, when I went online today and checked, my visa was only chaged $68. A $50 discount! lol

So, I don't know if it is $118 or $68, but I ended up paying $68 for some reason.....

When I went back today to get the fronts re-balanced, they were out of balance...now they are perfect. It's the only time I have had an issue with their work. The install guy today (a vet I was told) said the noob did it last week....lol
