A bit OT, but I was just thinking yesterday that my car now has 14,200 miles, 4 Autoxes and still feels like I just got an alignment yesterday.

You are right, I forgot. And I did pay extra for that special air.

Could this be the cause?

He mentions an M3, but I don't see why they'd have adverse effects only on the M and not the regular 3, since they share the same platform.

Btw JayBee, I think once they warm up and you brake them in well...
they will be stickier.... I think you'll like them man!
If not, just do some burn outs and get the PSII. I heard the PSII's
are REALLY good... almost like Pilot Sport Cups. HEHE!

I'm down for burnouts if you decided to do that. We'll take video and lots of pics.

I've had 2 alignments already over the 3 years of ownership.

How anyone can be gullible enough to believe that their special "m3s" are sensitive to a specific tire is just beyond me. If anything, the only BMW that is sensitive and needs to run a specific tire are the ZHPs.

Why the ZHPs and not the M3?
But then again, you have no credibility when it comes to ZHPs.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Cook a corner, understeer. If you're wearing out the fronts quicker than the rears it's a clear indication that your car has more skillz than you do.

And it's not that I don't have credibility wrt ZHPs...It's that I'm just a jealous little b*tch and wanted a ZHP so bad but couldn't afford one.
