Re: Tires for the 750i

[Mike Stukalin <mikest@xxxxxxx>]

I'm talking about HR4-2, and HR4 before that. I had at least 4 complete
sets, never a balancing problem. My experience with Dunlops was, however,
opposite. But, I must say that I never really tried SP8000, and heard good
things about them.
My point was/is, however, that Comp T/A HR4 is a great price/performance
compromise for a large touring car. And Michelin is just about the worst.
