I wore out my original tires and replaced them with all season continentals. The handling is not acceptable for warm dry driving so I need to buy second set of tires and rims for fun non track driving. What I'm needing is a set up that handles a little better than the stock PSS tires. Should be...
I finally swapped out my tires today At 11K. Fronts had lots of tread left. Rears at wear bars.
Pros...
the all season continentals have a super nice ride and very quiet. Luxury car ride
seem to stop straight line pretty good and expect wet weather light snow traction to be much better than...
I saw a video from one of the news agencies. Toyota started a thing called just in time inventory. The idea was to have no extra parts on hand to avoid paying money for inventory sitting around. Most big companies around the world followed suit. I worked for Boeing and hated the idea. The...
I hear what your saying, Looks like the rears will be to the wear bars by 10K, The fronts look like they could make 14-15K. Im not having the fun RJM is! Maybe it's the southwest heat and course roads? 75mph speed limits (+10 or 20 for good measure)? My rear motorcycle tires don't last very long...
I know several people here have tried them and was hoping to get their opinions. I know I will lose some handling.I probably need to slow down a little anyway. Driving this car as it should be lands you in jail real quick. Trust me, I have been cut a break by two nice officers so far.
I just bought CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06 plus for my 3.0 premium. I have not installed them yet. I have 9K on my stock michelins and the rears are about done. Has anyone put any mileage on these yet? How do they compare to stock? I'm hoping getting at least 20K on these tires. I don't...
Show the pic to your dealer service manager. That would bug me! Maybe you can do a search on one of the BMW websites. They have more experience with such things.
I keep reading the posts in the Salvage Supra Registry thread and I can't understand all the Supras that have crashed. Obviously the rear ends are obvious. Why are there so many front end and sideswipe totals out there? I have let a few friends drive my car, But I'm thinking that may not be a...
While reading the the thread about wrecked Supras I noticed there are a ton of wrecked cars out there. It seems like we're invisible sometimes judging by how many rear enders. On my motorcycles I install a led license plate holder that lights up when you hit the brakes, Some pulsate a few times...
Doh! I didn't know there was a physical key inside the fob! Logic says there should be so I found a small button on the side of the fob and walla, You can remove the key. It might have been nice for the dealer to have mentioned this.
It's not the car. It is the gps. I have a Garmin gps I use on several vehicles and it does the same thing. Only the gps manufacturer could fix it. Don't hold your breath on that. I just laugh about it now. I need to pay attention to see if my supra does the same.
In my case 163 at redline in 6th gear in sport mode. Didn't spend much time there to experiment. I'm not sure I want to go that fast in comfort mode to find out about 7th and 8th speed. Next time I'm in the boonies I may try manual shifting to see what happens. Unless some one already knows.
