Rear Rubber on Sale
Thinking

I am not 100% on this It has been a week or 2 but I was at a shop here in Houston and they had some Metzlers and I aske what the price was on 240's and I want to say 150 something, I can double check if anyone want's.
 
I'm probably going to have to buy one this spring....

It almost seems like the rears hold up pretty good for awhile but after a certain point they go to **** fast ...
 
tires

And just think about those tire mounting machines bustin those new carbon fiber wheels.They are brittle.Yes I would have a set if I were a rich man.Tip.Some where I read that setting that new 240 in the sun for bout 4 hours helps.
 
Take it from me... you don't want to mount cold low profile tires. And you don't want tires that have been sitting at the bottom of a pile for a year, they become impossible to bead without doing something stupid like using ether. It makes me sleepy just thinking about it.

The worst tires I've ever mounted were Michelin RFT's... Run Flat Tires... on a BMW Z4. Sidewalls made of steel. Unbelievable.

Bet those RFs ride real nice to eh.Thats just another case of testing new tech. on the consumer. Jack
