When do you guys change tyres on your cars? Mine is my first rwd and the reason are at about 4/4.5mm. Now and again it feels a bit loose so I'm thinking of changing them, but I also don't know if it's in my head! They're continental ssr 3 all round so not the greatest tyres to start with.
Soldato
Personally I wouldn't be changing them at 4.5mm as they're barely halfway through their life.
They might be feeling a little loose because it's frequently dropping below 0c at the moment!

I’d imagine the “now and again feeling loose” is either down to conditions, in your head or your driving style - or a combination of all three - 4 -4.5mm is fine, you have plenty of life in them yet.

Thanks. I'm quite a conservative driver so I was just a bit worried that's all. Do you guys run them right down to the wear indicator?

Ah I Thought the indicator was 2.5mm for some reason. Explains why my thinking is skewed!
Caporegime
I forgot about this.
Send me a trust message
How could you forget? You monster.

It wasn't high on my priorities list
JK I don't have a priorities list.
Lol.
That's not true...

Happy fun time.

Dropped the car with bimma and am now rocking a 320d touring in chav white with a stupid manual handbrake!! The amount of times I've just put my foot down to leave thinking auto hold will release only to hear the grinding crunch of a manual handbrake... man are we spoilt these days.
Nippy little thing surprisingly, are these twin turbo or twin scroll units now? Bit of a small estate space wise, I suppose it's like a beefed up hatch back really.
I'm not sure whether it's the colour or the plate but people arent as nice to me in this car, strangely. However the plus side it seems is everyone wants to race a 320d
it's been a while since I've been challenged.
Oh, how come I can't control both climate zones at once?!

Supercharged e38 7 Series with an S62 (e39 M5 engine) and 6 speed manual ‘box anyone?
The straight pipe is too loud for my taste,but, acceptable I guess given the performance on offer!
Shame it’s in Florida, you have to hand it to Americans, they love a modified car and don’t do half arsed jobs!

No thanks, belongs in an E39.

Not to me either, but, I’d imagine it’s far better with a manual ‘box given it’s nature, I can’t see a Supercharged S62 powered 7 being used much for wafting!6 speed manual box in an old luxobarge? That doesnt sound very well suited at all to me
You’d have thought such a conversion would have been better suited in a 1 or 3 Series, then again, the Yanks like their stick shifts- they had the e60 M5 available as a manual- and I’d imagine to the average American an e38 probably isn’t regarded as particularly big or barge like compared to some of the behemoths they like to drive around in!
