does this tire look brand new to you?

mpeng98 · 07-09-2012, 06:31 PM

saw on ebay, great price...

but seller claims they are brand new, came off a x5M before the car was delivered

I think this tire got few miles on it.

whats your opinion ?

BMW_Belgier · 07-09-2012, 06:33 PM

They look nearly new...

No photo of the side? (production date)

Dueller's suck - my fronts cupped super bad on my E70 after 6k miles, the bridgestones RFT's are the cheapest for a reason, everyones hates them on E9x's also - get some Michelin's - they are sooooo much better and worth the extra money!

why BMW still use them as OE tires ?

superjay · 07-09-2012, 07:44 PM

mpeng98 · 07-09-2012, 07:59 PM

seems like Michelin's does carry RFT for the size I needed

gds52 · 07-09-2012, 11:10 PM

Left one newer than the right one.
Look carefully, the tire on the right is missing those colored lines which r visible on left tire.

N55 · 07-09-2012, 11:14 PM

Definitely used for an short amount of time.

Turb0Surge · 07-10-2012, 09:18 AM

Used. You can tell by the drawing that's on the tire. There is none on the tire but in there is in the grooves. My tires where like that when I bought my car, and 2 weeks later switched them out for better ones.

hasta la pasta 27 · 07-10-2012, 09:37 AM

no, you can see wear and discoloration

Stud6999 · 07-10-2012, 09:54 AM

Looks used to me.

Roleez · 07-10-2012, 05:04 PM

Looks suspicious to me. How can they be takeoffs from a pre-delivery X5M when one pic shows the tread pattern of 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE050s and the other is the side profile of a Dueler H/P? I don't seem to recall BMW marketing their M cars with two different sets of tires.

VTECaddict · 07-10-2012, 05:37 PM

^ Dueler HP Sport has a very similar tread pattern to RE050A

exorcist66 · 07-10-2012, 05:55 PM

Looks used, don't worry about it and move on to buy something else is my advice.

I stand corrected. Didn't notice the groove in the center tread block. The H/P has the groove; the RE does not.
