My 2006 330i has the SP and when I changed from RFTs to Rads the sticker shock on the rears left me wondering if I should invest in a new car. Also hope that your BMW new car warranty is up as some dealers will not cover "some" repairs if they see that Rads have been installed.

I drive a 2007 335i sedan with 225/45/17 RFTs. I am going to be fitting non RFT winter tires of size 205/50/17. Questions: 1. Will the 205/50/17 fit over my BMW rims or would I have to buy new rims? 2. What happens with the sensors in the rims when non-RFT winter tires are installed on the BMW rims? Will the tire shop know how to turn off the diagnostics that manage the TPMS and the sensors that indicate a flat tire? |

Replying to: shipo (Sep 24, 2009 8:25 am) I do not understand how BMW can continue to harm its reputation by using the RFT's. I am having to spend money after the sale to improve a "premium" vehicle by replacing new tires after 6 weeks of owning the new 328. Makes it very unlikely that I will ever own another BMW. |

Replying to: jeffersonk (Dec 03, 2005 8:30 am) The last tire rotation was done by a dealer and at this point they cross rotated the tires and did a wheel alignment which also took into account the suspension's camber. As the tires wear out unevenly, they affect the camber and this inturn eats up your tires faster. For regular rotation I trust Tire Kingdom at about $55 vs $200 at a dealer. |
