Re: [E30Group] Re: M42 Cam Timing ???

Speaking of tires it seems that for us running the stock wheels (14s) it is 
slim 
picking out there unless you want to put on Toyo RA1s (pricey) but great tire 
and not too practical for the street.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Hani
89-325i with stock wheels

Huh?  How can one have great weight balance, and no weight in the trunk at the 
same time?  Weight balance helps both summer and winter driving.  Its all about 
the tires. 


BTW, what is the difference in weight balance between a 325i and a 318i?
