#26 of 45 Re: Related Tire Question... [waygrabow] by donzy Nov 05, 2006 (6:37 am)
Replying to: waygrabow (Nov 02, 2006 5:02 pm) Just FYI, I purchased winter tires from Tirerack.com - Dunlop Sport M3's size 215/50/17. They are the same overall size as the 18's and will fit over the calipers. They are rated very high in winter performance/treadware and much cheaper than the Bridgestone Blizzaks in the 18" size. After several months of research and conversation I found out that going to a wider tire 225/45/18 would require an auto body shop to perform a fender lip roll on the front. Has anyone had to have a fender lip roll done? The narrower tire 215/50/17 is better in the winter than the wider 225/45/18. Replies to this message: waygrabow (Nov 05, 2006 8:31 pm)

Replying to: donzy (Nov 05, 2006 6:37 am) If I went to dedicated winter tires, I would do exactly as you have done- 17" wheels with tires sized to achieve the same overall height. At least in my case with all season tires, changing to size 225/45R18 required no fender lip roll or other special handling. The space available in the front is close, and perhaps insufficient for a snow tire with prominent tread shoulders.

Has anyone had any experience with the Pirelli P400 or Pirelli Aquamile 400 ?   Please help.
#29 of 45 Flat tire...expensive to replace. by eviljoe Dec 27, 2006 (7:07 pm)
At 1,800 miles, I ran over a thick piece of wire (actually, it was more like a thin metal bar) and it punctured my tire right in the middle of the tread--it also banged around my wheel-well so hard it ripped off a clip holding one corner of the back bumper on.   Anyway, I took it in and was told no warranty on road hazard or anything for the tires. Since I didn't want to buy TWO new tires, I figured I should stay with the stock brand/make of tire. IS THIS CORRECT?   Though the soonest they could get a new Potenza RE050A XL in would be in over a week, and it would cost $220, I ended up getting one online for $200 and it got here the next day (shipping was only $15).   Next time it's going to be Pirellis or Goodyears or something in the $120-$150 range.
#30 of 45 Goodyear F1 vs Pirelli 6000 vs Continental Conti2 by henrlim Jan 02, 2007 (7:37 pm)
Before I take the plunge for my wife's car, can anyone out there tell me if the Goodyear F1 (v-groove pattern threads) are superior than the others in the wet? A colleague swears by them who switched from Pirelli 6000! My wife's priority is EXCELLENT GRIP.

I was told by some that the gold wheels will NOT look good on Black Cherry, or any color for that matter; I beg to differ       I've been getting alot of compliments.... anyway, I'm very happy with them Replies to this message: pat (Jan 11, 2007 4:42 am)

Replying to: bigelm (Jan 10, 2007 9:20 pm) The pics seem to be hosted somewhere that requires a login. They aren't showing up, at least for me.   Why not post them on your CarSpace page and then display them from there?

Replying to: henrlim (Jan 30, 2007 8:36 pm) Try asking in the S-Class discussion and/or in the Tires, tires, tires topic.
