In Reply to: Question about buying 2 new tires posted by Michael W on March 14, 2000 at 18:50:17:
: I have a '98 Z3 2.8 with the 17" wheels.
: Front is 225/45/17 and the rears are 245/40/17.
: The current tires that I have now, which have been simply superb, are the BFG g-Force T/A KDs.
: I have a concern about buying them again, however. I relatively recently bought two new BFGs because I had a nail that messed one up in the rear and the other rear got worn. That was a few thousand miles ago.
: My rear tires still look fine.
: However, with about 23,000 miles, my front tires are considerably worn. In fact, driving in the rain it's like driving in ice and I had to countersteer to remain in control.
: I will be going on a 3500 mile roadtrip on April 1st and I need new tires soon. The only issue I have with buying two new KDs for the front is cost. I don't want to spend another $500+.
: Would performance driving (in the dry) become very wacky if I bought cheaper tires for the front?
: What do you recommend? Buy two new KDs for the fronts or replace them with a cheaper tire (to hopefully yield equivalent performance results).
: Thanks,
: Michael Wand
