New BMW ownerergantos 04-21-2005, 02:37 PM Well I just bought my first BMW. It's a 87 325 is. Does anyone have recommendations on tires. I live in Michigan. We have bad roads. Any other advice would be appreciated. thanks all. Dudesky_E36 04-22-2005, 07:11 AM Welcome to the club, I just joined a couple of weeks ago myself, after getting a '92 325i. As far as tires, I don't think anyone has worse roads than my hometown of Jersey City NJ- he he! I'm about to pick up a set of Kumho ECSTA ASX all seasons, but since I don't have them yet, I cannot comment. The only advice I would have is to try and keep the side profile fairly high if you're worried about potholes, or buy tires with Run Flat technology.

I bought a set of Bridgestones . . . speedy service and good tire selection too ! ! ! fmundorff 04-29-2005, 05:11 PM You are going to want to look at getting snow tires as well, I have used Blizzaks for the past 3 years and it makes it possible to actually drive in the snow. Celsdogg 05-01-2005, 06:28 PM i have never run snow tires, nor do i really need to, but i have heard that Hakkapeliitta tires work really well in the snow and ice. they are made in northern europe and they get lots of snow. i have also read that run-flats dont handle very well. this is particularly true to the new run flats that BMW has been putting on its newer sedans. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
