Re: Tire Wear

[Robin <rbennett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting discussion of tire wear.

Alex Fadeev suggests rotating the tires. However, according to my
'Bentley's', BMW does not recommend rotating tires. This is because of the
differing wear patterns from front to back due to BMW's suspension design.
When the tires are changed front to back and visa versa it can lead to
handling problems. I have experienced this phenomenon first hand.

I am also in the market for new tires. Having gone through several sets of
Pirellis, I would like to try something different. I have a 1996 328i with
the sports suspension package. The tires are 225/50-16 front and rear.

Suggestions, anyone?

Regards,

Robin
