I have 21,000 miles on my 2006 M35X. Had an unpleasant surprise on my "routine" oil and filter change. Dealer noted that my front tires were worn out esp on outside of OEM goodyears. (yes, they do look excessively worn) They blamed the alignment and recommended replacement of front tires. Two tires plus alignment will cost $700 or so. I'm leasing so not really interested in changing all four tires to a better tire if it's going to cost me more (seems like the goodyears aren't particularly well liked or rated based on this board!) Any recommendations other than replacing the two front ones with the same goodyears? Should I be suprised on this wear on my tires? Anyone have problems with using outside places to align the m35x? I remember there were some issues 2 years ago when my M was wrecked and there were no specs on the M then. Thanks for comments.

Go to Tire Rack. Insert your car model & year and/or your tire size. Enjoy. I don't think you're going to see any $300 tires. I could be wrong. Get back to us.

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Oct 04, 2007 6:41 pm) I will say that when all four tires aren't very close to the same diameter (don't remember the spec) on an all-wheel drive car, it will create some big problems with the computer sensing variations in rotation rates, and activating the all-wheel function. It can also mess with the anti-locking brakes. It is often better to replace all 4.

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Oct 04, 2007 6:41 pm) 245/45VR18 Goodyear Eagle RS-A Blackwall In Stock 2 $261.00 $522.00 This is the OEM ones (there may be better or much better ones but I don't need to return my m35x to the dealer in 1 year with better tires than it came with.\! So $522 for the tires, $100 for alignment (dealer), plus labor = $700 if I'm lucky. I can live with cost but thought my low mileage and usually nonaggressive driving would have minimized the wear and tear on the tires. Is the M prone to alignment issues? Plus the car was aligned by the dealer 1 year ago and tires were rotated by the dealer on schedule. The roads in central jersey aren't great but probably not the worst out there either. |

I have an m35 non-sport with the all season goodyear RSA's. I live in Southern California and not sure if I need all season's or summer performance tires. Here is what I am looking for in order of priority: 1) lower price 2) tread life 3) handling/performance 4) quiet ride. Seems like a tier 2 brand summer tire would be the way to but concerned about tread life. I'd like any suggestions you have about all season vs. non all season and specific tire recommendations. thanks in advance for your help!
