Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dennis, with the E32's the ABS will cycle when you are reversing and applying the brakes. It might also work on the E38.... until you run into what's behind ; ^ ) -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2004 23:22:05 -0400 From: "Dennis Liu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "BMW List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The best Mini mod?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've got dedicated snows for my 94 325ic, so I'm looking for a 3-season tire with decent wet/dry performance and 30K plus mile tread life which should get me at least 2 seasons out of them. Budget is definitely an issue. It's my street-only daily driver so I don't want to waste money on performance I won't be using. I'd like to keep the total cost for 4 tires shipped, mounted and balanced under $500. The gForce Sport appears to be new so there's not much information available. The Tire Rack description says it was designed for sport compacts. Is that likely to mean anything other than cosmetics? I was considering the Yoko AVS ES100s in the same price range but I've read too many negative comments about poor wear so per mile they don't look like such a bargain. The gForce Sports have a 340 treadwear rating vs. 280 for the ES100s so they should wear a bit better. I've heard nothing but praise for the Bridgestone RE750s (also 340 treadwear) ratings, but that would put my total cost closer to $600. I think they're probably a no-brainer vs. the ES100, but the BFGs are an unknown quantity. Should I just suck it up and get the RE750s? Are there other tires with comparable performance/wear/price I should be considering? Thanks for any thoughts.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Treadwear grades are based on a 7200 mile test, then set by the nmarketing department. They are OK for a general guide, but the confidence limit is low. I have BFG BFG GForce KDWS on my wife's 525iT and Traction T/A on the E30 beaters. The GForce is rather stiff and is way more tire than she needs. The Traction T/A are pretty good for the money. I have two requirements for tires, an AA traction grade and nylon cap plies over the steel belts.

About the same price as the ES 100, but no bad reviews (yet). I just put a set on the E36/5, and they seem fine so far.

I think they would fill all your requirements, except maybe price. Local best deal, even beats tirerack, is COSTCO. I can get them for about $520 a set and the mount and balance for a few bucks more. Actually they do a great job here, I have watched them work. I love the tires...just don't run them in cold weather and especially on snow/ice...a real "E" ticket ride.
