should be fine with only 300 miles on them. glad all worked out in the end

I really like these tires.. rain isn't *that* bad. Only downside is the weak sidewalls. I run 36/34 in mine to help compensate.

it sux that you flatted the tires. and yes, 300 miles difference in wear shouldnt cause any problems

thanks for the input and thanks again to Tirerack!

I've had these tires in 255/40/17's on my e36 m3 and I must say rain/wet traction was great. I am actualy looking for tires as we speak and I'll be most likely picking these up. Great tire for the money.
