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,

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.
