The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Does any have experience with the Ventus S1 Noble2 tires? My PSS are nearing the end of their life and because winter weather is more common in the new city (but not bad enough to justify snows) I’m going with A/S rubber this time.

I know the Pilot A/S3+ is the gold standard, but I really like my Hankook 200TWs so I’m considering giving their A/S tires a shot. The price is very attractive, there’s a rebate, and the warranty is actually better than Michelin or Nate’s beloved Cooper.

What about the Bridgestone a/s re760?

I never seen them as part of the Mann oil filter. However fcpeuro includes both of them as part of their oil change kit. So I replace them everytime.

I use the Mann kits and they’re not included. Got them separately.

My dad said one comes in the kit for his n52 e61.

Last kit I got a week ago from FCP Euro was the liqui moly oil change kit. The 2 green o-rings were included in a separate small bag.

The Mann oil filter only had the crush ring and o-ring for the housing.

From what I can tell the 760 is a summer tire, but the 980 is an A/S. Interestingly the Bridgestone warranty doesn’t say anything about staggered fitments.

Sorry. I meant the re980as.

Here they are in a 235/40/18 on a 8.5" apex arc8.

How do you like them? If I remember right you’re ~1.5hrs north of me so weather is pretty similar. With the $70 rebate they’re a pretty good price.

Correct.

They are quite and the grip is good for an all season tire. Only gripe is they ride kinda firm.

But they are mounted on my mom's sedan and she has no complaints. Good tire for the price.

With my suspension setup I’m used to firm. As long as they can handle 1-2” of white stuff, I’m too low to drive in anything more.
