As for mentioning waiting for the air to show in the 135i tires, I was simply saying that I'll drive it until I can see air, i.e. the tire is completely shot. However I have to get an inspection next month, and I'm already into the wear bars, so I'll probably just switch from the OE Bridgestone RE-050a RFT's to non RFT PS2's.

One thing that I think a lot of recent BMW drivers overlook is that many BMW M Cars have come with non RFT's and no spare for years, and we've all lived with it just fine. I'm looking forward to removing the terrible OE tires and seeing what the 1er really drives like.
