#162 of 188 Re: New Tires Suggestion [Howardj1000] by hhiggins Jan 20, 2009 (7:08 pm)
Replying to: Howardj1000 (Dec 29, 2008 1:03 pm) Hey:   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: c5_4fun (Jan 18, 2009 6:37 am) I was dreading getting new tires because of the expense related to the size tire on my M35x - I kept pricing the local tire dealers, the internet tire retailers, Sams, Costco, etc and finally found a clearance on Tire Rack.com for a set of Goodyear F1's - got them for about $90 each. Even with the road hazard added, the shipping and the installation costs, I still saved almost half off from the cheapest place I could get them here (PA) locally. I've been very pleased with the tires thus far too. I was impressed with how easy TireRack was - I know several people who've used them and after all was said and done, they didn't recommend them but finding those tires on clearance it was did it for me.

Replying to: coltom (Mar 28, 2009 10:59 am) coltom,   Was wondering which specific Goodyear F1s you got. Was it the All Season F1s?   Thanks Bruce Replies to this message: coltom (Apr 27, 2009 3:38 pm)
#166 of 188 M35 TIRES by mako5 Apr 08, 2009 (1:40 pm)
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 ? Replies to this message: james27 (Apr 08, 2009 2:30 pm) shmang (Apr 08, 2009 5:13 pm)

Replying to: mako5 (Apr 08, 2009 1:40 pm) It's a rear-wheel drive car! The rears usually wear out first. On any car, if you rotate the tires when indicated, you will even out the wear and extend the useful life of the set. Replies to this message: shmang (Apr 08, 2009 5:13 pm)

Replying to: james27 (Apr 08, 2009 2:30 pm) Yes, the tires on the driving wheels will always wear faster. Even the M35X will wear the rear tire faster - since it is not real time AWD - only when there is slipery detected or when launch, the power is distributed to the front. So, rotate tires will extend the life of your rear tires / tire set.

Replying to: bruceomega (Mar 30, 2009 1:01 pm) Bruce - they are the F1 GS-2's - they were doing a clearance on them thus the great price
#171 of 188 run flats vs low profile non run flats by jvsb May 03, 2009 (6:59 pm)
I have a 2006 M35Sport. I replaced the first set of tires with another set of Potenza run flats and only have about 17000 miles on them.. They need replacement. Has anybody switched to the low profile non run flats and if so have you had any problems. I know I have to get a spare but that should be cheaper than the run flats although a bit of a problem with space in the trunk. Any other suggestions for tires? Any thoughts on the Federal 595. thanks. jvsb Replies to this message: shmang (May 18, 2009 4:29 pm) turley99 (May 21, 2009 7:35 am)
