That’s Tim Schreyer in the white EP BMW. The car is light (somewhere in the 2300 lb range I think?), a built m20, and stupid fast.
I was going to ask if anyone knew him. The car is 2200 lbs. How built is the M20? When I asked(I think it was dad) when they were on the false grid, he said it was a stock M20. Guessing he meant stock as in N/A. Thing is a screamer, sounded great down in the Kettle Bottoms.
Said they ran a 2:29 on Friday which fast for a ~200 some horse power box on wheels.
Also saw this up behind 6. Was gutted and had a half cage.

I was looking at tire deals tonight and came across what seemed to be too good to be true. It might be. Bridgestone turanza serenity plus for 118 a tire, normally 310. Catch is they are 3 years old. You think a 3 year old new tire is still trustworthy? They also come with a 2 year road hazard warranty that covers 100% reimbursement if they are not repairable or 25 per wheel if they are repairable.

I'd stored correctly there's nothing wrong with them. Is it a reputable source?

They are from tirerack
I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

Any of you cool cats or kittens ever played around with Federal tires?
Looking at the Federal Evo ST-1, can get 4 of em in my oddball desired size of 235/40/19 for under $400 shipped. I'm assuming they're not fantastic, super sticky, long living tires. But, they might be a good stop gap for me to see if I want to go up to that size from my 225s.

I’m sure they’ll be fine

You're getting black and round. Federal isn't the worst out there by any means but it's not what I'd buy unless I planned on burning them off. There's actually a ton of options in that size due to the popularity of big skinny rims nowadays so if it's a choice driven by a lack of options I'd encourage you to look further. If it's price motivated then these will scratch that itch.

You'll be happy with the sottozero. I've driven on them and sold a ton and have never been told a bad thing about them. Good buy.

Thought process is that my current tires are nearing the end of their lives, I want to do a track day at Blackhawk in a couple months and will want newer tires for that, and I want to try a larger size on my already low-ish car without committing long term. I think I'll do it, #THANKS

I'm running a set of those exact tires on my 128, it's my daily so it doesn't get the crap pounded out of it, but when I do lean into the corners hard I've been pleased.
They have quite a bit of grip, have good feel / breakaway characteristic, and seem to be doing okay on tread wear (though a bit early to tell).
For the price I figured it was worth a shot. -

Well, taking a little break from having a fast BMW. Sold the compact to @alexw and am just having fun with my '96 Volvo 850 daily.
And I blacked out the kidneys on the X3. Excuse the filthy garage.
E91 328xi - F15 X5 40e - Hopes and dreams of eventually having a cool car

can confirm, daily volvos are fun! 850 looks great too!
