can someone with these tires installed maybe the thread poster can post a picture of the tire with a side view? i wanted to see how flush the tire is with the fender? cause i got a new m3 also and well its tire/wheel is flush against its fender and now looking at the f, its looks sad. How small the tires width is and how the whole wheel setup is inside the wheel well. It looks like a god damn corolla tire on a f.
jesus.

My Vredsteins are approximatly one year old and have about 25k miles on them. I have been very happy with them. They do have a very stiff sidewall so if your TPM tells you that you have a low tire correct it immediately.
During early spring (about a week prior to a track day) I ignored the TPM because I thought that it was just the cool temperature causing underpressure. I drove it to work and then to NTB (since it looked low) for repair. There was a nail in the tire and I had actually driven it with the pressure so low that the rim chewed up the inside of the tire and I had to replace the tire. There was no swaying when going around a corner that you usually get with a low pressure tire.

I don't think these tires are better than the stock ones, whether it is the Bridgestone or Michelin, but they're a GREAT replacement at a much lower price. I went with different sizes so my ride is not as smooth as it was with the stock tires, but I can't complain, performance has been greatly improved due to the wider contact patch and stiff-lower sidewall.

Can you guys with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear post pics of your cars from different angles and a side shot? I want to see if the wider sizes increase or decrease the sidewall heights by much.
Thanks
