Hold on a minute daft lad,i was asking a perfectly normal question.So your tyres have gone off just now have they you hadn't noticed them wearing untill FRI night at 7PM !!! you really do post some rubbish, have you some sort of attention disorder .................

Porscha! · 07-04-2008, 01:23 PM

Carlos check ya phone, I think you may be in luck

Well fingers crossed hopefully!

dxb335d · 07-04-2008, 01:24 PM

No mate, you can feck off. Ive made few phonecalls to locate some. Last place i wanted to post was on here thanks.

The rears are very low. I have now noticed that on the inside edge one is showing metal. SO YEAH i did only just notice at 7pm......

I knew they were low. But on closer inspection, when im going out on a long drive i always go over the car unlike some people and i have noticed a potentially dangerous situtation and without wrecking my weekend im seeking help from fellow e90ers and all you have to say is ask ya dad.

_KG_ · 07-04-2008, 01:43 PM

How many miles have you had out of this set?

This does sound familiar to my post a little while back - the car squats under all that torque and wears the inside out first - pic of mine below:

Heard a flapping sound and it was part of the tread coming off - outside wall still had 1.8mm both sides!

dxb335d · 07-05-2008, 03:34 AM

Thats the same as mine. Im fooked cant get hold of any today so wont be making it to Brooklands tomorrow.

Ring Dave @ Carlton Tyres. 01708 524523. Tell him Tom sent you, see what he has in. Elite are round the corner to him if you have no joy.

booforty · 07-05-2008, 07:32 AM

Hope you get some tyres sorted Carlos... Roofer's looks like a good lead...

Porscha! · 07-05-2008, 08:00 AM

Carlos did you get my message about tyres? I can get you one for Monday, or two for later on in the week, for certain, if you would like some of these.

Sorry I couldn't do better.

Price was as I stated £404 each including VAT, will see if I can put a word in to get a better price

mikem · 07-05-2008, 08:33 AM

Why the difficulty in getting non-RFT`s ? What size are you running Carl ?

Are you TOM? ill say Tom with the 335d e90 yeah?

MikeM im after Runflat. I have two Ru nflat fronts and what rears to match.

Porscha ive been quoted alot cheaper than that already. Thanka for the numbers though I tried one who said monday.

Porscha! · 07-05-2008, 09:26 AM

I thought they seemed rather expensive!

Was a nightmare just finding out about them.

Did you try Selecta tyre, they are good I've always been pleased with them, don't know if you have them round your way though.

dxb335d · 07-05-2008, 10:13 AM

Cheers Roofer, i spoke to Dave and he has located one. He will ring me Monday about locating another.
The hunt is still on though for sure.

mikem · 07-05-2008, 10:57 AM

Carl, just get a set of 4 Falken Non-RFT`s (about £400 for the 4) and sell the fronts on ebay.

Carl .. I think he meant keep the falkens and sell the pirellis so you woul have the same make all round. Otherwise he would have said by TWO falkens

mikem · 07-05-2008, 11:48 AM

Thats it NFS, why are the Euphorias so expensive ? When we ran RFTs on the mini`s the Euphorias were one of the cheapest RFT`s at the time.
