Spent the morning today ripping through the Malibu mountains in the e30 for the first time in a while and wow, you really feel like a celebrity in an e30 right now. Everyone wants to wave and chat about the car everywhere you go. What a blast.

Anyone know anything about electric vehicles. My wife has a ford c max and its time for a tire replacement. She asked me to help her look for tires but the tires she has on her car are the kind to get max mpg and cost about 1k for all 4. I told her a tire is a tire and got quoted 460 for an all weather tire falken brand. The tires she has on her car have like 70,000 something miles on them. I just find it hard that if you put some other kind of tire on her car it will lose mpg. Any input? Lol sorry I know this is a e30 thread and we get shit mpg

Yeah it’s true, I forgot the science behind them but it will increase mpg because of less rolling resistance just to start. While everything else all season/ uhp etc. in my experience a friend of mine put continental tires that were all season and lost as much as 5mpg avg. then again it depends on city driving/highway driving. My wife, has a Kia and it came with expensive Michelin tires and when we put continental pure contact, her avg went from 33 to 26. Lots of highway driving.

In my perspective I feel there is always a draw brack. Like the gas saving tires cost more and some of them don’t last but you save gas so you pay upfront and save as you go, versus cheap tires. Tires are cheap.. nothing to complain because I got them cheap.

Thanks for your input. I told her to just get the ones recommended for her car but I think she wants to get rid of it. She got alot of use out of her stock tires and she drives alot.

I know I’m kinda technologically dumb, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post photos from Flickr using a phone. On the webpage I can’t even get a link for the photo. On the app I can hold on the photo and get a link, but it’s just the link to the Flickr page that the photo is on. I tried deleting some parts of the link to make it work, but all I get is a blank box every time. Anyone know how to do it? iPhone btw, I don’t own a computer so that’s not a real option.


Damn Photobucket communists

The only dumb part is how you cant really link flickr from your phone. you need a desktop... I use tapatalk from my phone but flickr from home. Id suggest getting tapatalk and paying a few bucks to avoid the ads. Its the only app Ive spent money on and it was like $5

acouple years ago i tested the windows rolled up vs down using megasquirt seeing the data right in front of my face.
got 3mpg increase @ 70 mph.

i'm not going to do it cuz i'm too lazy but do you think the stock 29psi vs 60psi there will be a mpg improvement? by how much?
how much psi do you have to use on those c-max special tires? is a 185 the same as a normal 185?
