It's a slow day in the office..

Here I am, behind a desk. I'm working at my dad's radio station as a receptionist today. It's a slow day, so I've got nothing to do. So, I guess I'll start asking more of my famous questions that make me "Curious" Joel.

1) I still need advice on what tires to get for the 330. I'm looking for performance tires for 225/40 R18 wheels. I've got Michie Pilot Sports on there now and I like them, but I'm open to opinions on other tires.

2) What is it with BMW brakes? I'm on my 5th set of rotors, and they've just gotten very very warped. They warped because I think they were hot from braking for tolls on the highway and it was raining, and I hit a puddle..



Well I guess that's it for now. I'm planning on washing the 330 when I get out of here, and I might just post some pics later on. You all still haven't seen my M-Wheel!

Totally different car, but I just took off (today) my old Michelin Pilot Sports off of my 97 Z3. The tread was close to wearing down and, truth be told, I never really liked them. I would hydroplane on the highway if it was raining at 45mph.

I just replaced them with (no rice flames now) a set of Fuzion ZRI tires. They are made by Bridgestone, are grippier, smoother and quiter than the Michey's were. A steal at $115 each, mounted and computer balanced. So far, I am very happy with them.

I had Michelin Pilot Sports that came with my M3. I upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sports 2!!! What a big difference for the dry and even for the wet!!! The PS2 come on the Z8s, Porsche 911, etc.
