Wanna See A Bald Tire? - BMW Forum

Here are my snow tires (205/55-16), came with the car, used throughout the spring, summer, fall, and most of the winter (to date). I replaced them today with Pirelli P-Zero Nero's. Size, 225/50-16.
Old...

New...

The feel great, smooth, and of course, have very little road noise.

They were $100 each from tirerack.com, garage wanted $151 each.

Installation for all four was $99.64. Total spent was $499.64. That's alot less than what I spent on my older mercedes' smaller tires installed at Sears.....

Blame the dealer, they inspected the tires during my Inspection II last month.

They say snow tires wear out faster than normal tires on dry (no-snow) road conditions.

It's been since March I think. That would be almost a full year. Either you buy really shitty tires or your really hammering it. I don't blame ya, with these new tires, I find myself pushing the car near it's limits.
