I have Questions about buying tires...

killahurtz · 07-30-2007, 10:32 AM

I have a 06 325i w/Sport pkg. My front RunFlat tires are worn down but my rear tires are still in good condition. I am about to order tires. Should I order tires for the front and wait for the rear? Will that cause any problems?

how do your front wear out quicker than your rears???? its a RWD car, the opposite is suppose to happen...

just replace the 2 worn out tires.... usually you would put the new ones in the rear but in ur case, since you are wearing out your front tires faster, put them in the front...

Just replace the worn out ones and it will be fine.How did you do that btw

sounds like somebody corners harder than they accelerate

you can't just move the tires on a sport pack car as they're staggered from the fronts

if you put some nice tires on the front with the stock rear runflats it will probably make the car more balanced in handling

My fronts looked more worn out than the rears too. I corner very hard and I have an automatic so launching is not a tire killer.

In every RWD car that I have owned, the front wheels wear out before the rear. I never heard of rear wearing out first unless you are burning out all the time.
