Ordering tires from the dealer?

Hi all,

a little bit of background info here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=296789&page=1

As of now, I've had an idea... how about ordering Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s ZP from the dealer?

I want to get some Advans, so having tires for them may not be such a bad idea...?

Will I really regret the runflats that much? I heard the PS2 ZPs are better than Bridgestones (=softer)?

Thanks

Hey D_o_S,

I just read your thread about the contract issues you were having with BMW. Sorry to hear about that but it seems like things are going in the right direction and in your favor.

I just wanted to help you out with a few things before you make your purchase decision, before purchasing from the dealership you should check and make sure there prices are uniformed with other companies. I have a few helpful links from Tire Rack that may help make your buying experience a little easier!

Michelin Pilot Sport Information:

I also notice that you're interested in Advans. Have you heard about Forgestars yet? It is really an incredible wheel. It is a Flow Form, Spun Cast wheel that the KW Race car will be using for a year. It's lightweight and high quality wheel like a BBS or an Advan but at a fraction of the price.

Here are a few pictures let me know what you think!

Forgestar F14's

Hi buddy,

thanks for the info.

I will definitely consider the Forgestars. I am now working on something with my dealer (probably will go for a LSD), so I could order the tires from you.

Thank you for now.
