Once upon a time...in a forum four..teen crashes ago...there was a rather humble yet brilliant rider who often wrote intelligent and well thought out posts and who rode like Casey Stoner on lap 4 suffering a case of Diorhea! His name was Kishy! Hence, the little bits of unused tyre previously referred to as "Chicken Strips" are now fondly termed "Kishy Strips" while here in everyones favourite forum KSRC!HTH

Ahh well, M3's by name, M3's by nature! Both are admirable corner carving tools! I'd be almost as happy steering an M3 as steering with a set of M3's on!!!aggerz wrote:lol i guess tyre choice is not one of my strong points - i saw this topic and thought wha? BMW M3s?

Re: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M3's!!!!!
Sorry to turn this into a car thread but one of the IT consultant dudes here has a new V8 M3 on order, apparently for delivery early next year. Now if I can scam a drive of that and the bosses Maserati Quattroporte life would be interesting.Strika wrote:Ahh well, M3's by name, M3's by nature! Both are admirable corner carving tools!

Back to normal transmission......
Mmmmmmm M3's. Took my new back M3 for a ride on Saturday with the Hoff. The things are sensational even when new and shiny

Re: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M3's!!!!!
Yeah Glen, I agree. I chucked a new set on during the week, rode back down the freeway, no corners. Went for a ride Sunday, forgot about the new tyres and hit the first turn like i had 2000klms under them and they never moved an inch all day!!!!

Re: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M3's!!!!!
If you haven't already tried them Gos give them a burl, they're a seriously good bit of kit. They pretty well handle anything. My last back did a ride day at 1.51's, the trip to the island and another 3000 odd k's of fanging and they still had life in them.Gosling1 wrote:How long do you reckon a set of these would last on the 12 mate ? seeing as its almost summer 'n all ....![]()

Re: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M3's!!!!!
thanks boys, I have heard so many good things about these tyres - a set has been put aside at the local dealers, just for the sports-barge !!
roll on summer and those nice *hot* stretches of twisty bitz.....

Re: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM M3's!!!!!
I've got a set on hold.
I'll chuck them on next week, after i kill my current tires at the trackday this weekend.
They only make them in 190/50, but i think its gonna be fine
I love the 002's but I think i'll get more milage out of these.
