#2567 of 4450 Re: Snow Tires - to buy or not to buy? [shipo] by drddo Dec 05, 2005 (12:11 pm)
Replying to: shipo (Dec 05, 2005 12:03 pm) Great! Thanks for all your help today Shipo. I put a call in to the dealer, just for kicks. They ball parked between $1200 and $1300 for everything, but need to call me back with a firm number. I'll likely go with Tirerack, as you said the price is far better than other places I've been looking. Here's to looking forward to some great winter weather! -Drddo Replies to this message: drddo (Dec 05, 2005 1:26 pm) jedi1977 (Dec 09, 2005 10:42 pm) kyfdx (Dec 10, 2005 6:32 am) venture (Dec 10, 2005 8:31 pm) and 5 more...

Replying to: drddo (Dec 05, 2005 12:11 pm) Interesting info to pass along... My dealer called back and they are quoting me $10.92 OTD price over the cost for the same set up as Tirerack. Plus they will store my summer tires for me. I never would have thought the dealer would be anywhere near the same ball park! -Drddo Replies to this message: jedi1977 (Dec 09, 2005 10:42 pm) kyfdx (Dec 10, 2005 6:32 am) venture (Dec 10, 2005 8:31 pm) jedi1977 (Dec 11, 2005 12:55 pm) and 4 more...

Replying to: erickpl (Dec 05, 2005 7:29 am) Thanks.. this is all starting to sink into my thick head.... I'm not positive about the ability to put voice tags on the directory in the BMW, but I'm going to find out.. That sounds like the best way.. I hope that will work.. Of course, my first problem.... is I've never put voice tags on the phonebook entries in the phone itself.. So, that would be the first step.. of course, it makes me sad that I can't put them on the SIM card, as that is where all of the entries reside.. Any problem with battery life on the RAZR? We've only had it two days, but the battery is going dead in a matter of hours.. I'm guessing it is because we are leaving bluetooth on? regards, kyfdx Techno-cro-magnon Replies to this message: shipo (Dec 05, 2005 7:52 pm) kyfdx (Dec 05, 2005 7:56 pm) gordonwd (Dec 06, 2005 5:53 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 05, 2005 7:50 pm) Any problem with the battery? Yup, the BlueTooth drains the battery fast. As such, I've bought both the car charger and the USB charger for my Razr. Best Regards, Shipo Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 05, 2005 7:56 pm) gordonwd (Dec 06, 2005 5:53 am)

Replying to: drddo (Dec 05, 2005 1:26 pm) That's a pretty sweet deal from your dealer. I ditto Shirpo's advice as I recently purchased an '03 330ci and am having Blizzaks w/new wheels mounted on it tomorrow. Purchased from tirerack.com and the total should run me just over a grand. Being from chicago, and having recently been hit with snow on thursday, driving the beemer was not even an option without the 'snow shoes' and currently sporting the OEM 18" Michelin Sport tires obviously made for summer. Since my dealer is not doing the service and therefore not storing the tires, do you or Shirpo have any recommendation on storage? A buddy is letting me use his garage, so can I just stack them, maybe 2 high? Does that damage/unbalance/etc. the tires?

Replying to: jedi1977 (Dec 09, 2005 10:42 pm) I stack mine four high... No problems that I can see.. Most advice that I read, says the biggest issue, is to put something between the tires and the concrete floor (cardboard), and to keep them out of direct light.. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: jedi1977 (Dec 09, 2005 10:42 pm) I stack mine 4 high too and place cardboard under the bottom one. I just use a few of the round pieces tirerack shipped the tires/wheels with. Since you ordered from tirerack.com you should have about a gazillion of those round things sitting around.
