Thanks, but i doubt i will order it from the US..wayy too bothered to go through the whole waiting process than picking it up than transporting it to some tire shop..might as well just buy the tires here at least..
on another note, was at the peak yesterday for lunch and in the parking lot were 4-5 BMW F10's...they are getting more and more popular! But seems noone has white..how come. |

as for tyre I will always get from US, the tyres will be new and will have this year number on them unlike HK which are 2010 tyres. also I saved over 50% on tyres and that included shipping and installing. |

mine is the sophisto grey....which is a very nice color..but i still think hard to mod for when it comes to color scheme. Because its this middle color that makes it hard to mod it..i feel like the color is veyr elegant....but not sure if sporty is the right word for it.

I have pearl white..the only prob is i left it uncleaned and uncovered..and the dark dirt seems to get absorbed in..does that make sense??
Mlai, do u order your tires? is it really 50%..seems quite extreme. |

Nickel and dime everything does not do anybody any good in the long run. But that's just me. PS. If it is something that I can't get locally, that's an exception.

for some colour no matter how much you mod it, it will still not look as sporty as the sport colour which I think are Black, White, Red and silver. It was hard for my car too to mod it to look good. like have silver wheels just don't look right with the colour that I have. Has to be gunmetal or hyper black but not black. |

You could really be getting ripped off even by HK standards But then, shipping for the tyres alone I can only find about USD125-150 EACH TIRE. That sort of puts me off. Maybe you can point me to where you can ship tyres cheaper

also hong goods they will not change the tyre for you if you have a air bubble but the 1s in US will change them for free. so for Bridgestone it is better to get from US HK Bridgestone is ripping ppl off not the tyre shops. |
