Hawk I'd love to see pics of these replicas on your ride.

Also, how's the ride quality without RFTs? Big difference?

How on earth do I post pictures on this forum?
About the ride quality, not really a big difference. The new tires (michelins) are not RFT's, so they should be softer, but they are also a lower profile tire, so it pretty much rides the same. No improvement, but not any worse. Now, cornering, that's where you will see a big difference, much better.
I have some pictures. As soon as someone can tell me how to post them, I will do so.

There is a Manage Attachements button in the reply section.

Do you have the seller info or PM me?

Thanks.

Exclamation

Franchesco82,

You chose Michelin Latitude but attention your back tyres do not respect any more the indication of load planned by BMW in 20 ".

Michelin Latitude 315 / 35 / R20 has an indication of load of 106 while BMW imposes to respect an indication of load of 110 with these dimensions....

Hey franchesco82 did you ever get and install the fender flares? Was it as simple as snapping the new rivets in?
