Hmm... you mentioned that "winter tires are fine all year round" ... I guess you meant "summer tires are fine...." The reason I asked was because I keep reading that summer tires lose a lot of grip below 45 degrees. And in Phoenix, it does become much colder than that for at least a couple of months in a year, especially during the early mornings (when we normally drive to work). I've also read lots of conflicting statements from folks who mention that as long as you drive carefully, you should be fine.... still wondering about those unexpected moments when you got to brake in a hurry or steer away aggressively to avoid trouble...Hmm... decisions decisions.... maybe I might just keep the OEMs now and go for ultra-high performance all seasons (like Extreme Contact DWS) later. Not that I would be totally happy with that compromise!! |

You should ask a tire shop, some tires should be stored in the cold, but that should be mentioned in the spec of the tire anyway.
Not all tires are the same. |

I have thought of a few things. Depends on how far we want to go and how many people we can get together. For a first meet we could try to keep it fairly simple to allow everyone to get to know each other. Short local trip, up South Mountain ( twisty fun road ) out to the White Tanks, haven't been myself but could be cool, could always make a run up to Sedona or the general area but it is a much further trip , I was also thinking of Firebird raceway road course, eventually, would be a blast! Just some thoughts, let me know what you think, shoot me some thoughts.

A good friend of mine is a sales manager at a BMW dealership, and hooking it up. As for the sales tax i believe you only have to pay sales tax in the state that you register it.
