Higher inflated tires have less rolling resistance, gets better MPG. Maybe they made that change to up the MPG for testing, even though the EPA sticker didn't change.Originally Posted by BMWCurves

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46fanatic

The recommended psi for sedan and coupe is quite different... Is it cause of difference in weight distribution??

Pretty sure both cars are very close to the same. Very.

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

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?

Visually that looks quite worn...

They look worn and have toe wear. Also that side of the tire is right on the wear indicator.
IMO I would still mount them and drive on them

Did they check the tread depth ?

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.
