width matters

I've always gone with the thought that the more rubber that meets the road, the better the grip can be, all things being equal. Reading up on this one time made me a believer. Good to know this size. I just briefly started doing some online shopping. I figured I should wait and get some feedback from those that have the knowledge/ own the car and have been there, done that.

I took the car into my local BMW dealership. Checked into a few things on parts and service, got prices, gathered some info. The parts guy warned me about some softer tires having flimsy sidewalls, which would throw off the cornering abilities of these particular cars.

Really loving how this car performs, can't wait to be able to push it more with some new shoes. My rears Pilot SS are nearly flat, but STILL have decent grip on dead stop acceleration, which I'm attributing to the DSC.
