Not comparable to the 167s but it's OK for 3-4 months per year.
Stock 138s with Bridgestone "iron made" RFTs are now at basement. :thumbsdown:
What a difference in comfort
Car's hip-hopping has now finished

It looks great!
245/45 R 17, that's what we use during the summer months!
I still have summertires on our E60, since the temprature is pretty high here in Denmark right now (8-10 C).. But I think I will change this weekend
How is the winter season in Greece?

Winter season in Greece is crazy, one week 20 C but maybe next week 0 C ...and so on, but too strong rain (when it 's raining) and too many potholes as result
