On the way to my folks this evening I hit a "city titty" in the left turn lane and popped my front right

What's pissing me off is those "titties" have been there for 30 years and why did I have to hit it tonight?

I needed new rears, so now I need a whole new set of 4 - sh******t

Looks like the best deal is from tirerack.com and having to wait till the middle of next week. Oh well, I quess I'll finally get those rear spacers for the 166's!

Time for a cold adult beverage

Cheers Gents,

Cheers Gents,
I've never heard that term (city titty) before ... did you run over a server from Hooters

Seriously, I've always had great service from TireRack and pretty quick shipping. You said you're going to bit the bullet and replace all 4 tires. Are you sticking with the Pilots or looking for something with the same performance capability but more reasonable pricing? I've been pretty happy with the Dunlop MAXX'es I put on my roadster. And when I ordered from T/R the price was a great deal.

I have the M5 19" wheels on my 2005 530i. I had to replace the original Continentals about 6 months ago. I could not stomach the price tag of the Michelon Pilot Sports, so I bought Kumho's for less than half the price at the TireRack.

I have been very happy with my choice. The tires are quiet, the ride and handling are great (as good as the Continentals), and they seem to be wearing fine. However, I live in Texas, so I am not concerned about performance in bad weather.

Just my $0.02.

I went with the Michelin Pilots and they did very well for the first 10K miles. Thereafter, they're kinda like the Contiss as I feel the ride is a little rougher. I rotate them every 5K miles so the wear is fine. I am also in the dirty south so don't worry too much about the winter weather but hey -- we get our share of storms bro................
