The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[san]

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.

I used to have continental dws06 tires and drove a few times on 1”-2” of snow without any issues. They also last quite well.

Interestingly the Bridgestone warranty doesn’t say anything about staggered fitments.

From what I've seen, tire manufacturers don't really want to warranty staggered fitments because they can't be rotated. I don't blame 'em; you can get a few thousand more out of them if you rotate them.


Michelin I think halves the warranty on staggered tires, and some don't even warranty them. It looks like Bridgestone does the same thing as Michelin. From their warranty guide:

For tires used on staggered fitments (vehicles with differentsize tires between the front and rear); the front tires will havethe full mileage warranty (if available) and the rear tires willhave one-half of the stated mileage warranty (if available)

Yep, those are the FM-5s. I had some Fikse Aro on my Accord before she was stolen. I got them for like 1k...stupid deal right? I want another set, need to finish where I left off.

So the M2 competition came with Michelin PSS.
I thought I remember reading that they are discontinued? Replaced by the 4s?
I still see PSS for sale everywhere ...

When I spoke to a Michelin rep at MTrack days in 2017, he mentioned that they will continue to build them for at least 3 more years due to contractual obligations. He also said they will phase them out slowly with OE tires being the last to disappear. Basically Michelin should continue to make the tires available for at least 3 more years after the vehicle production had ended...

Hmm I don’t know if I am go through a set of rears in three years with the low mileage I’m running on my car, I’m running staggard.
Perhaps I’ll go for the 4s
Actually, if that was 2017, they’ll be gone in a year...
