I will do a test fit this weekend to see if the rears fit the frontz.troyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2017 4:41 pmI'm serious, just swap them front to back. Takes 15 minutes and costs no money and you can change it back if you still hate it...

You're absolutely right. Cars are too fat today, folks! A HUGE problem! We're going to fix that! And we won't be paying for it!troyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2017 3:49 pmA 315 isn't fat on a 4500 lb behemoth. That's like a 210 on a regular 3000 lb car. A stock FRS has less hydroplaning resistance than a Hellcat on 315s.

Does PSS come in Runfrat?
Total is 1k for 4 + shipping and mounting from tirecrack. That's $1200... or $100 a month. I think i'll just ride this thing out. And if I was going to stick to the same car later, that would be the first thing I'd do.

PSS PS-2
Those are
You could also sell the wheels and tires when you're done, or better yet, if you're only keeping the car another 12 months, just get some Rival-S or Re-71R for the front. Swap tires before you turn it back in.

The wheels are cheap, maybe Discount tire direct has the tires for cheaper.

It does. It's "ZP" in Michelin-speak... but that won't solve your problem anyway. The front/rear swap is your answer.

Mang that was the whole point I was trying to make and that it seems like it is an industry problem... not just isolated to one brand or one type of car.
I a lot... so I'm going to try and be somewhat reasonable and not on modz. I'll have a new car in 52 weeks or less
ok, but if you keep the ones you have now you get credit on tradein.
also, i like my z4. I like that it moves around a bit (at somewhat) sane speeds.
The older i get, the LESS grip and raw speed I want for a 'sports' car. there is no sport on public roads if you run hoosiers and have 600 hp on tap. The sport part, for me, is to do more with less. So i partially agree with however i'm not as extreme and not a killjoy. And I'll pay my supplemental road taxes occasionally to have some fun the rest of the time.
dont you fucking dare
