Put new tires on my E34.

My old ones were worn, particularly the front ones, front left was losing air, and they were OLD. One of them was from '99, the others from '00 or '01. :monocle: Why do used cars you buy always have crappy old worn tires?

I put on new 205/65/15 Fulda Carat Progresso, which were rated as #1 in ADAC's yearly tire test 2009.

I can't tell much differece in just driving normally and taking turns as it's not exactly a race car, but they're MUCH more comfortable when driving over sett or other rough road. :)

I also used another set of wheels with a nicer design (original BMW Styling 5); cleaned them and put new valves in.

Any pics? I don't think I've ever seen an e34 with Style 5s.

Here you go. 15 inches of fury. There's only *just* room enough for the stock 302mm brakes :). I took 'em from a 535 that I took apart, and they were a stock option back then: BMW catalog
