7 miles, they didn't fit on my M3, the beads on them are still there, as is the original sticker, to show you how little i drove on them. Basically down the street to the tire shop. they are 225 45 17s, sticky as hell.

I thought she had 18's? How much would you part with them for?

karmasabish · 03-12-2008, 03:05 PM

tire rack has them at 154 and 152 dollars per tire, i paid 182 per tire. I'm willing to part with them for 140 a piece, OBO. the guy who sold them to me swore they'd fit, i really got raped on it. Not looking to make any money, just stop the bleeding lol.

Hawkeye · 03-12-2008, 03:10 PM

She does have 18's. Same reason I couldn't get them.

pbdm4k · 03-12-2008, 03:24 PM

Still beyond me as to why people think the F1's are so great.
It's an all season tire isnt it?

Anyhow, did you try selling them on other car forums?

F87LUV · 03-12-2008, 03:30 PM

No go, I have 18s. My dad is trying to downgrade in rim size so if i find him a good set to pick up, Ill keep you in mind.

Negative,

Its a summer tire and its awesome, The grip level in the wet or dry is outstanding
and even though its a purely aesthetic reason the tread pattern is one of my favorite for car tires

Karma, I am on my 2nd set of F1 summer tires..they are great....i've heard better than the all season F1's and the REXX too. I'll get a 3rd set when needed again any day.

AH HA!! See, it comes in All season!

I tried the All Season F1's (friend's car) and they hydro plane like no tomorrow. I can only attribute that to the tread pattern. There's no continuous sipe for water evacuation.

Needless to say, he threw out the tires with over 70% tread left. He was pretty pissed when it rained.

I'm completely turned off to GoodYear tires.

karmasabish · 03-12-2008, 04:09 PM

are u happy with your falkens? i'm running 452s on my m3 and have found them sticky, but i don't really drive the car that much throughout the year...maybe 3k miles

225? is that right, the rest i'm pretty sure is 45 and I KNOW they are 17's. 30 k on the last ones.....i had 20k on the RFT's, and just a few thousand on the F1 summers i got installed in January.

My knickname was Mario from my family...but I really drive like a grandma, especially after my 1st ever speeding ticket in July.
