Yeah... is there any chance someone would be so kind as to lend me a wheel/tire for the left rear of my M3? Actually, doesn't matter if it's wider or not because currently the right rear is a front wheel (non staggered). I'm currently using my spare and to my delight discovered this morning wires/something poking out from the inside of the wheel... also felt like some tread has been torn off. Faulty tire, bad alignment, the result of running 1 staggered wheel??? I don't know... all I know is I'm lucky I made it to work this morning without it blowing and I'd rather not take the same risk heading home. Thank you! Oh, it would probably help to say I work in Old Town Alexandria. If an E46 325Ci or E36 328 offset worked, I'd just borrow a co-workers.

What? I don't have another spare or AAA and I'd like to get home safe.

Sorry, I'm re-reading your post to figure out WTF you're talking about ;)

I think running a 1 offset tire may be causing you problems. Is that 1" offset or 1mm offset? :confused

A little cord showing is fine to drive home on.

Call 301-585-2740 NOW and get Sam or Paul to order you a set of tires. (They'll probably give you a better price if you tell them Nick sent you.)

I was wrong, it's more than a little cord... the whole inside of the tire is gone... torn clear off. I'm lucky it didn't blow on me this morning. I'm guessing that's the THUD my wife and I heard last night and I said well that didn't sound good :( :embarrasm

My bad on offset, I meant staggered :rolleyes

Nick, who is that number for? I need tires for both the X5 and M3 and was just gonna hit up Tire Rack. Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico for the X and PZero Nero M&S for the M.

No one has a spare wheel with a tire mounted sitting at their house or in their car near alexandria :(

Not with your offset my friend. Your best bet would be to pony up the $30-50 ... and get something from sear's (landmark mall) or discount tires (on duke street). This way, it takes care of you until your tire comes.

The number is for Radial Tire in Silver Spring.
