I probably should replace the tires in pairs. On the other hand, there is a zero percent chance that I am going to lay out an extra $360 to replace a perfectly good tire with plenty of tread left on it unless someone can give me an absolute, iron-clad reason I have to. Keep in mind that BMW is also the company that tells you not to rotate your tires, even in non-staggered applications. |

Those ASA wheels are nice, I've got a set for my snows (you can get the little BMW inserts to replace the ASA ones).
To me, the main advantage to RF's is safety, you're less likely to have a blowout and, as Josh showed, less likely to be stuck on the side of the highway wrestling with a 50lb wheel and tire. Whether or not it's worth the dollars is a personal call. Ed |

I just remembered that my father had to have two RFTs replace on his X5. The total with mount & balance was just stupid! Oh and parts didn't have the tires in stock so they had his car for 3 days.
