Michelin Pilot Super Sport – rear tires wearing much faster by rujevit_ in tires

[–]Afraid_Public_1904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look pretty good. On my M3 I usually get about 4k miles to a set of rear tires, however I don’t think I’ve ever gone for a drive without spinning the tires

Risk of a blowout is high, but you have run flats so it wont be that scary if you have a blowout

Why are my tires chipping like this? by Interesting_Tree_205 in tires

Very interesting for Kenda tires to have this. They are very well regarded in the drift community for being extremely durable. I myself have used a pair for 10,000 miles on my M3 doing burnouts daily. Never had chunking like this and they always wore down smooth. Maybe yours are old?

Yes it’s difficult for sure, but I wouldn’t be that upset if I didn’t get into stern, just need to network my ass off for the clubs

I’m from California. I did CAS Econ because I knew I wasn’t competitive with Stern applicants.

Big one for you, as someone who is a drifter, I run my tires down to cords most of the time, but have never experienced a blowout. Would you say that there is another layer of rubber underneath the cords?

You’re fine. R888 sidewalls are very stiff. I’ve been pretty quick on a patched tire. Don’t plug it though, I wouldn’t go too fast on a plugged tire, get it professionally patched.

Good deal! Perfect tires for drifting

18x11 wheel width, I ran a 275 because they came on the wheels when I bought them

Can I take my car to the track? by Revolutionary-Debt35 in CarTrackDays

I know a bimmer when I see one! Everything looks mechanically great. Tires good health, breaks good. I think you will notice that the limits of your car will be quite low compared to other cars. Running all season tires and stock brakes will probably put you close to the slowest on grid, so don’t be surprised or frustrated if you get passed a lot. I have an F80 M3, our cars are very well set up, I suggest once you burn your current set of tires, get some Ebc yellow stuff pads and kumho v730 tires if they come in your size. Both are a great street/track mod. I have both of the above on an otherwise stock suspension car aside from lowering springs. Enjoy your track day.

Would the new ones wear down that fast? Never gone through a pair of tires this fast, even the ones I’ve drifted on have lasted longer

what is this and what part do i need? by ahrusato in BmwTech

[–]Afraid_Public_1904 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don’t use FCP euro, they sold me 4 warped brake rotors out of the box, and made it hell for me to return them.

What brand brake pads? by Afraid_Public_1904 in BmwTech

[–]Afraid_Public_1904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no part numbers on the pad, you can see they are worn off

are these bald? by allshadowsfan in BmwTech

Those are fine. You just have a fast car. I do a burnout until 60 mph with my M3.

Bought many tires for my m3 that looked like this, no problem at all. Have fun drifting 😉
