The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[san]

Are they? You would think they would be the same since weight distribution is supposed to be 50/50 in both.

don't remember the values for a sedan but they are different... I was thinking the same but then maybe the weight distribution isn't quite 50/50??

Did they check the tread depth ?

Don't think they did but i got a tread gauge and in the middle of the tire they're 6 to 7 left and one of them is 4 to 5.

Would mounting the worn tires in the front be of any help or does it not matter? since it's rwd i'd figure get the best tires there.

I would put the better tires on the back so you can actually take off.

Went to townfair tire today to get the winters mounted and was told they couldn't put them on because 2 of the tires were too worn. Not sure if they were trying to sell me new tires or if they are really worn. What do you guys think? these are 2 pictures of the same tire that i saw to be the most worn.

Also, even if i gave them the baldest tires ever why would they decline to put them on? liability i may get into an accident and blame them?

I got the same crap from Merchants Tire when I dropped my van off on Monday for a rotation. I left it there and shipped two tires direct to them. They are installing them right now.

In a manual, it's like 50.7/49.3. Not enough to impact tire pressures imo

Not sure why most other peoples' say lower pressures. My sticker shows very high pressures...



I don't run stock sizing so I keep it at 35 all around.

Just realized, those values found in the door stickers are max values for five people plus luggage (1,058 lbs), according to the owner's manual.
