Replying to: bobicg (Jan 20, 2009 10:59 am) The Michelins might be a good choice - and I never said it was not. I was just simply point out that you are over exaggerated the durability of the tire and give other M owner an honest opinion. What's wrong with that? |

Replying to: bobicg (Jan 20, 2009 10:59 am) So, most M drives do spirited driving. I guess you are the exception. But, that is OK, I just learned something new. |

Replying to: bobicg (Jan 20, 2009 10:59 am) Just FYI - Not everyone that does not own an M will own a Civic. There are other cars to be considered - in case you did not know that. I am not sure where you live. But, if the place you live only have M and Civic, I can understand why you bought the M and drive conservatively ALL the time. I am sorry to learn your situation and now I understand more about your situation. Enjoy your M, but when a Civic pass you, don't panic. Your car has the undiscovered power to destroy the Civic. |

Replying to: Howardj1000 (Dec 29, 2008 1:03 pm) Here is my story. I replaced the factory tires with Eagle F1's. Great traction, but super loud. I rotated and balanced every 5K. Like the first post after yours, by 10K they were loud as anything. At 20K I noticed severe tread wear on the outer edge of the driver's tire, which was 500 miles after the dealer rotated and balanced the tires and told me they were in great shape. I took the car back to be inspected, and the delaer told me the tires were all cupped and they all needed to be replaced. They wouldn't even talk about alignement or unmounting the tire, just that I had to buy 4 tires immediatley. Notwithstanding the trust issues I now have with the dealership (since they take no responsibity for the inspection failure, and a tire dealer has told me that my tires still have life in them), don't buy the F1s. If you look at Tire Rack online and read the F1 reviews, everyone is having this trouble with these tires. They all cup after 5K miles, which leads to the crazy noise. I guess I have to be thankful that I managed to get 25K miles out of the tires as many people get less than 15K miles. They are far too expensive to buy for that many miles. BTW, does anyone know if there is any truth to the dealer stating that only "they" can align an M35x. The head of the service department at my dealership told me that no repair shop dealer has the right equipment to align my car. I don't believe him, but I have no idea. Thanks. |

| I am starting to look for new tires on my M45S. Anyone tried anything other than the factory tires that they really like? I have the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A on there now. | |

Replying to: coltom (Mar 28, 2009 10:59 am) Was wondering which specific Goodyear F1s you got. Was it the All Season F1s? Thanks Bruce

I have a m35 with 17k miles on it . The rear tires have about 45 thousands less thread than the front ones . Shouldn't the front ones wear out faster ?
