#1. Tire Suggestion - from Ahmad Lutfeali
Top
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2005 11:13:29 -0500 From: "Ahmad Lutfeali" <m3_racer99@hotmail.com> Subject: Tire Suggestion Group, I have been using Kumho 711s on my car (street use). I must say that these are the worst tires I have ever used (period). They are horrible in the wet, infact you can break them loose during WOT in 2nd gear. My previous set were Michelin Pilot Sports. I really enjoyed these tires ( a lot) however, since I am running -3.5 up front and -2.2 rear, the tire wear does not justify spending the $$$. Car is a 75% track car and 25% street driver. I have a dedicated set of track wheels and tires however I still drive it out once in a while (and to and back from the track). I generally change tires once a year (skidpad training and tons of autox as well). Any suggestion on tires? I was thinking about the MX 245s ($120) (wet driving is primary concern here) or just getting the RA1s 255s unshaved ($150) and use them as street tires. $600 is my absolute budget. Any other suggestion/ideas? TIA Ahmad 98/2 I Stock

I threw a set of Falken 451s on mine in the same situation. They were pretty sticky and decent in the rain - had them flipped on the rims at 7k, corded them at 14k. They were something like $500 for 4 IIRC. I have a set of 4 with less than 4K on them that I'd sell you cheap (my car is no longer registered). Even cheaper if you are close to SE PA, I deliver for beer ;) -- Walter

#5. Update on ABS light goofiness - from Jason Olin
Top
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2005 09:45:51 -0800 (PST) From: Jason Olin <jtolin64@yahoo.com> Subject: Update on ABS light goofiness Here's the latest. My car needed new brakes and rotors so they did what they could to clean the ABS sensors. One of the sensors was not in great shape, but not broken, so they did nothing. The problem is still present. It also is triggered if I deliberately activate ABS by slamming on the brakes. So at the end of the pulsing it kicks on. The repair guy said that because it is a soft fault which resets when you turn the car off/on, there is no code to detect. I have an extended warranty, but it doesn't pay for diagnosis, so I'm not keen on having the shop futz around indefinitely. Alternatively, that Jetta value edition lease deal ($249/mo for 39 months with no fees) is pretty appealing for wintertime. Jason 97 M3 Coupe, Cosmos Black 93K mi
