Tire Purchase

pelerojo · 07-23-2012, 07:04 PM

Hello all. Well, I just crossed 20k and the 7 year mark on my original Conti's on the Z4M. I decided to replace with the Kumhos LE Sport in the original spec sizes. I called an online company - lets call it T/R - and just before the purchase I asked if they could tell my how new they might be because I age out of tires not wear out. The told me they were made in mid 2010.

I said stop the presses. Two years old? Long story short, I did not order and I'm now looking for someplace else. Any ideas??? Some other online places do not carry them. Thanks.

Perhaps Discount Tire Direct?

Any particular reason you're going with that brand/model?

I'd go with better tires.

I would suggest the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110, cheap and very highly rated.
