Which one do you use ? I have always been terrified of using them because I figured they would completely jack my rims up.

Thanks Gymkata! I was already scheduled to have new PSS installed Monday and my local Lexus dealer has a 110% price match guarantee on tires! I have already sent the screenshot in to my service adviser

I'm sure they won't match the 4% Mr. Rebates deal but I should still net out to $895.93 for the set before mail in rebate! Lexus quoted price was 1172.82 (tires only) so this post just helped me save almost 3 bones. I think I'll spend that on some rim touch up... Thanks again!

At tirebuyer.com there was a section to put in a coupon code. I just pasted in retailmenot12 and I got the 12% discount. It must only work on certain tires. I just tried using it for different sizes of the PSS tire and it still works for me...works for the Potenza S04 Pole Positions as well.

It didnt work on me either. I tried buying only 2 PSS for the rear. Maybe it has to be the set.

Hmmm...I wonder if it is a regional thing where they give the discount if they have a bunch in stock or something like that???

I use the Mr. Tire near Rte 40 & N Rolling Rd in Catonsville. I am polite but let them know up front that they are very expensive wheels and each wheel is specific to it's corner of the car. I usually get an experienced but fairly young guy that is in love with the ISF and loves to shoot the &^%$. I hung out with him in the back during the last install.

Dang, this is legit. But I put in a full set of Super Sports and the retailmenot12 code and it didnt take it.

Dropped the car off at Lexus of Greenville today for new PSSs and rim repair. Dealer could not get the discount code to work either. Luckily I had sent a screenshot of my tirebuyer.com cart from the weekend. Fingers crossed they will still accept it for the 110% price match. We shall see...

Tell me about it. I wised up and traded my 550i for the F . It's nice to CHOOSE to take my car to the dealer now vs being forced to spend my days at Century BMW... plus the F stands out in bimmerland.

BTW - I just tried the retailmenot12 discount code and it doesn't work for me now... It was good while it lasted.

I guess the code isn't valid as of today. I worked for me before, but not anymore.

RETAILMENOT12 works off and on. Last Sunday (09-15-13) it didn't work for me. Then I just randomly decided to try again a few days later on Tuesday and it worked. I got the 275/30 rear 245/35 front setup for $904 (factoring in the $70 mail in rebate). The $70 rebate expires September 24th. Great deal for great tires!

Hey I know its been talked about over and over again but what is the ideal track tire setup with factory 08 wheels without any negative impacts on the cars dynamics. I know some setups can throw lots of things off. I am running on factory suspension.
