What Michelins are you getting? Same size as the Kumho's?

I didnt get the extended maint (extra 3 years) but did get wheel and tire package.

Cheers!

Thanks

 

ECS. Whats the weight?

 

Looks like the Michelins are sold out I might have to try something else. Bummer

 

According to some people who weighed them around. ~22 lbs each wheel.

Thanks

 

Are you going with a Run Flat or NRF? I'd be curious on whats available in the same size as the Kumho'.

After some searching it seems like folks like the NRF tires.

 

NON runflat, Pirelli has one in the size.

 

Hi guys.

Looked through most GPII threads but still couldn't sort out:
What is the way to find out my production # in case I don't have roof decals (EU car)?

Thanks in advance,
Igor

 

Only the US and Canada get roof decals

 

Thanks, I figured that out. So the roof sticker is the only visible sign of this production # you all are discussing? All GPII except US and Canada are the same and differ only by VIN?

 

Could you, guys, please tell me:
Are there any differences between GP's (II)?

As I realised (at least in Europe) they differ by tires (Michelin or Kumho), is it any chance to discover which ones I have? Haven't got the car yet but curious. (I already have VIN)

I saw some interior pics with A/C and some of them are equipped with Climate-Control. Is that an option or maybe it depends on EU/US version?

 

US GPs come standard with the Auto Climate Control, has bluetooth but no steering wheel controls for the BT or radio.

 

There were just a few options which could be configured (see lower right on the product guide below) . It depends entirely on the specific market you are in.

Within the US, all of the cars are identical.

 

 

Why not just ask your motoring adviser at the dealership...?

 

Thanks for info, all clear now.

Gizmo, as far as they still can't deliver my cars (it's 15 apr. already, it was payed off before new year) I'm not sure they are qualified enough. And that's the reason we have quite complicated relationship..

 

The US cars include the following option codes:

302: ALARM SYSTEM
494: HEATED FRONT SEATS
534: AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING -inc: active carbon-filter, air recirculation
655: SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO -inc: (1) year subscription

 

Come on Jim, the GP seats aren't that bad The new seats, as you guys know, are WAY better. But for me, it still isn't an R53 GP. In a few years when the R53 GP is paid off, I am thinking of adding a R56 GP to the stable, but selling the R53 to get the R56 is not an option for 41k! Hope all the new GP owners are enjoying their cars.

 

Wow, 2 different GP's!!! Just drove my R53 after having my R56 for 3 weeks. 2 completely different feels!!

 

Now which do you prefer and why? Likes and dislikes?

 

I got my tires in yesterday I am going to use the Michelin Pilot Super Sport 205/45 17

 

I also got the windows tinted and a clear Bra so it is sitting in the garage curing for a few days.

 

how are the PSS tires on the GP?
do you think it matters that they are not the 215's? (diameter wise)

 

Overall diameter will increase by about 2% and side wall by about 7%. Thus, bottom end acceleration might be affected. The bigger sidewall will cushion the bumps.

 

does anyone else make a good 215/40/17?
