Size of tires for Alpina Kopi's?

Well, you can only swap them front-to-back as they are directional.

..that's what you want to do...

this may be missleading when actually timed. yes that is what is supposed to happen and you will get laughed at during meets and events at the mall etc. But it is not necessarily any performance gain.

BreytonM20, thanks a lot, I appreiciate it.

One question though, if your lowered all around how will rotating the tires help with tire wear due to camber? It will still mostly affect the inside of the tire.

..what you do is bring the rear to the front and the front to the rear to even out the wear. If your tires are wearing out on the inside when mounted upfront...something aint right unless you are running an aggressive camber kit. I have -ve camber in the rear and so far my tires have no exhibited inner wear...not that many miles yet..they do have some wear on the edges all round though :twisted:

The wear on the yokos is as expected given their stickiness and treadwear rating
. You have a trade off of accelerated wear. I am running b.caps with Kumho HP 716s and they are very nice in the grip dept. with stock profile. Very good in the wet and dry for a $40 tire :P

We just pulled Jarvis' Borbets and ES100s off 2 days ago, and the tread on the inside of the back wheels was almost bald after maybe 6000 miles. So, if you car is dropped, a camber correction kit probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm just hoping mine last a little longer than that.

Some of us need that camber for fender clearance :)

That pic is a good indication of how close my tires are.
