I need new tires on my 2003 E46 325i (no sport package). I have a little over 43K miles on the car. I have a few questions:
- Are the original tires considered a good bet for this car or would folks recommend something else? (FWIW, I've been pretty happy with the Continentals that the car came with so I'm inclined to go that way unless I get strong recommendations for something else.)
- The wear on the tires is uneven. The rear tires are more worn than the front ones. Is this expected? I thought that they'd all have similar wear because of the 50-50 weight distribution.
- When you get new tires, do you try to continue using the balance weights that BMW uses, or would you just go with whatever weight the tire shop uses? If the former, how do you get the weights that the tire shop might need?
