Discount Tire Direct...Singing Their Praises!!!

These people run an all around FANTASTIC business!! From customer service answering questions with direct information, same-day fulfillment...oh, and then there's the price.

The details: The DD, 540i/6, was in dire need of new rubber and wheels. Cutting the RR tire at work last week was the catalyst for the purchase. When I bought the car I noticed a slight rim bend in the RF...upon further inspection at a wheel repair shop. The RF had 7 bends and deemed not repairable...the RR had 6 bends and had already been welded on the inside...also not repairable. Also, the tires were mismatched front to back with the rears being 90% gone.

After a little research I found that Discount Tire offered Voxx made, M-Parallel knock offs (Think Euromeister for Fuchs). I've always loved the looks of the M-Pars so it was a no brainer.

I put a package together wth BFG Sport Comp-2s and find out that they will mount and balance for FREE when a set is purchased! WAIT, there's more. I got a $50 rebate off the top and they were at the house in 3 days...also, FREE.

So I was able to score a full set of wheels and tires, mounted/balanced, delivered and not having to sacrifice my time to get them taken care of...for $1158. That can't be beat.

I bolted them on last night and it transformed the car...couldn't be happier



An aside: The BFG rears are 275 series...and are physically 1" wider than the Falken 275s that were on the car.
