2 front are about 2-3 months roughly 2k miles rear are about 1 1/2 year. Feels like slippage is coming front front 2

Was going to go for Dunlop RT2's but changed my mind at the last second, gonna get Continental Sport 6's as I got a better deal. Getting them fitted tomorrow

Currently got Mayruns and Accelera fitted

Im sliding in the rain in my a/s winter tires by primewell even tho I live in the south

Cooper RS3-S for summer. Blizzaks in the winter. Coopers are nice and cheap with tons of grip. I go through a set of tires per year with how I drive.

Huge difference in the way my car handles - thunderstorms last night here and still raining pretty bad - the wet grip is phenomenal and the car feels so much more planted on the road.

Would recommend the Continental's already!

What's needed after switching wheels around?

[DoctoRx]

Continental DW for a soft summer tire (bc PSS weren't available at the time)

Blizzak WS80 for winters

What model of Primewell tires do you have, and in what size?

Primewell is the in-house "bargain" brand at Bridgestone-owned tire shops like Firestone Complete Auto Care and Tires Plus.

If you have the sport package and 225/45-17 tires, the only Primewell tire in that size is the Valera Sport AS which is supposed to be a performance-oriented all-season tire.

If you have the base 16" wheels and 205/55-16 tires, there's another tire in that size called the PS830 or PS850 which is a regular old basic tire and may not be so great as you're describing.

As for what kind of tire you should get, that comes down to what sort of driving you do, what you want to pay, and how much ride comfort & tread life you want vs. traction.

I've the base 16 and it's one of those didn't want to spend too much on them as i am getting some better shoes soon. As for what I want I want traction comfort and quite ride

Retorque the wheels, make sure they are all tightened up.
Also I usually balance my wheels every 4-5 months, and of course depends how much you drive.

I live in a place where it gets lower to -50C, and snow almost every night.
I was going home to change my DWS to winter tires on the first day it snowed, i slide down the hill at a 4 ways stop...... and i had like 2000km on those DWS. Scared the shit outta me, thought i was gonna hit a car lololol

But for summer tires DWS actually perform pretty good, i have a 328xi, even though DWS aren't performance tires. But i can go into a 90 degrees turn at around 70kmh

Haha ik that just wanted to know if it was the wheels needing balancing why the steering vibrates
