    Try running the front a little softer than the rear. Like 33 or 32.
    The Load Index is 97 and they're W rated... Grip is AA and Treadwear is 280.

    I'll drop the front a little and see how it goes...

    Hmm, a LI of 97 is certainly enough for an E34 (minimum is 93 I think, maybe 94). Surprising that the max PSI is 40.

    Hmmm... Yes I've saw those before I think - I would definately rate M-Pars above those personally! Still, you can't beat the T-stars!

    LOL you're right... would you beleive it - the dealer wants £30 for a set and can't get them until wednesday, motorworld haven't got any for my car and Halfords want £36 for them!

    I've got to give it to the guy on the counter though... He told me £36 - That's a bit steep I said, to which he replied "Welcome to Halfords". LOL

    So, are these "replica" one-piece wheels, or did you just get four of the same wheel inserts by mistake??

    He said (in the thread when he asked about fitment of them before he bought 'em) that they're one piece wheels. Pretty good looking for one piece reps IMO.
