    1. I want this deal
    2. My envy for that thing grows every day. I wonder how much the 3,500 lb capacity can be exceeded, it must have built in excess. The fleet of cars it would be used on are all below 3,500 lbs except for my sister's E46 330Xi which is supposedly just over 3,500 lbs.

    If my text books didn't teach me wrong, they would at least have a factor of safety of 1.5...

    Yep, that's what's printed in all the ME textbooks -- and for a lifting device where failure = user death, I'd say they designed with at least 3.0 in mind.

    Based on what I saw during my research of their product and from using it in my garage, this is my personal impressions for the 3500 model:

    3500 lbs = rated max to maintain factor of safety

    4000 lbs = no worries, I'd get under it

    5000 lbs = I don't know that the hydraulics could lift it unless it was a taller vehicle so you had a good head start (the force required from the hydraulic piston is reduced as the lift extends--hardest lift would be from fully collapsed). I'd probably still get under it (with my jack stand safeties in place).

    6000 lbs = I'd change the tires as long as there were safeties in place. Not getting under that, though.

    10000 lbs = Still won't collapse, but sure as hell won't lift. I'm not getting under it and would prefer not to stand next to it. Y'all crazy.

    Edit: What I mean when I reference my jack stand safeties. I don't get under the car without them, not because I think it's going to collapse ever, but because it takes 10 seconds and adds peace of mind.

    What's the downside of running winter tires year round? I bought the 20"s with winter pirellis but it rarely snows or even gets that cold in my area. I really hate the 17s i have with minimal tread left.

    Faster tread wear and decreased performance. I personally can't get my winters off fast enough.

    My guess would be poor grip compared to summer/all season tires and higher tread wear rate in warmer temps.

    EDIT: Patrick took the words right out of my fingertips.

    Should I just keep them on and let them wear. I'm guessing they will still last a while and then i can replace with some nice all seasons like contidws06

    Cornering traction will be diminished, possibly handling/braking in rain. I wouldn't do it myself.

    PS: I can't load that Bridgestone page.

    We ran Blizzacks on the 135 until August one year while waiting for custom wheels to be built. It really wasn't bad at all and that car has a lot of HP

    Still getting a vibration in the steering wheel at highway speed (after new wheels and road force balance). What to check next? Wheel bearings? Tie rods?
