Where to start...
I'm a "Mechanic" and very price conscious. I purchased two of these from onlinetires out of california and live in austin tx. My BMW as many E46's wind up with had continentals on it and i wore them to the steel due to negative camber.
I've owned 19 cars, last one being a C5 corvette... so i'm used to doing powerslides and being chased by the police around winding roades etc ;)
That said, my biggest complaint is that the sidewalls seem to be made of tough marshmallows. As we all know, those are good for eating with chocolate and grahm crackers, but i would say bmws are far from those ingredients.
Since installation, my front tires now understeer more in corners and the back floats around like i have no swaybar. I should have bought a kumho asx or prettymuch anything else as the "Great price" fails to include safety in my application for unknown reasons.
Not sure what to do other than crash my car and sue the company lol, because thats just what we do in america with all our lawyers.
Maybe its the size or i feel like the sidewall must be the culprit for this lousy everything about the tire. I don't mind a tire that looses traction, wears fast at this price or tries to kill me in the rain. I just hate the way the back end of my car feels like "donked" out impala on mudding tires. I already own a lifted land rover and feel more confident tossing that into corners now.
At least i'll be a great driver when i'm finished with this crappy squishy mess.
Bottom line, save money but make sure someone with your specific size thinks they work well. Maybe those who rate this tire well have never felt a car that corners well.
I will try to get money back or sell these to their next victim.
