What do you think of the Vredestein tyres? I take it they don't do a 285/30 and 335/25 combo?

Vredestein tyres are till now very good. I got them allredy on my m5, was happy with it.
But no 285 available, 295 works as well..

Just get my new f85 style grills and put some foil on the headlights.
The headlights stuff is just for fun, for a month or two, Light is very yellow, not very nice to drive but it looks special.

now that you have had your setup for close to a year, can I ask for your review on the Ultra Vorti? I have been looking at the possibility of getting them as well

The Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, i like it.. Did now 15tkm, never had a bad or unsafe feeling. Dry or wet a good tire, now front is about 50% left back a bit less, maybe 35%. Im going to buy the same again..

good to know that you like them, altho they seem to wear out very fast considering you only had them for a year with not that much mileage on them

I do some drifts sometimes, maybe this could be a reason..
I will do more than 20tkm, but 30 should be possible if you drive a bit carefully..

Keep the headlights stock IMO. Black tint won't look good either but in all fairness I'm not a fan of tinted headlights or taillights unless you are rolling around in a gangstered out Caprice.

Seems like people get caught up in modding just because they can. Subtle changes on BMWs is all it really takes.
