TTQ B4U Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The LM60 is no where near what the LM25V was in terms of road performance. The LM60 is an H rated at best, tall siped traditional snow tire. The LM25V's were V rated with a small layer of MLC material and stiffer material after that. They handled as well as any all season when it was just cold / dry out. I can completely attest to the handling. I don't know the LM-60's at all but have read the same as what you've posted on BMW and G8 Boards. The 25's tear it up dry or not. I like them as in my case the OZ's they are on are 17lbs ea. vs the stock wheels at 24lbs ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other motorists will see you better during the arctic blizzards that commonly hit columbus ohio. Tried that. Didn't like it. (okay it's not fully yellow..) http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/ui2ik2ec5d1e384viewattth1330db1e782.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 PS: The LM60 is no where near what the LM25V was in terms of road performance. The LM60 is an H rated at best, tall siped traditional snow tire. The LM25V's were V rated with a small layer of MLC material and stiffer material after that. They handled as well as any all season when it was just cold / dry out. A lot of people are very upset by them dropping the LM25V in all but a few sizes as it sucks handling wise vs the LM25V. The only common option left is the Dunlop Wintersport 3D's. Been using them for years and even preferred them to the LM25V's so I'm not really affected. The LM60's are better in super deep snow and ice, but suck by comparison in dry road handling ect. They seem fine for a daily, had them on last winter too. I have no complaints.

Tripleskate Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thoughts on graphite for a color? http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/7141207_dpl_hwp102_pri_larg.jpg I have used that exact paint. It looks good, but it's difficult to get a smooth reflective surface out of it. Gives the wheels a very "OEM" style grey look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 You recommend a different product? I was stuck between that and glossy black engine enamel. Yes actually. Just did my winter wheels in Rustoleum "Black Night". It's a metallic that looks either black or grey depending on the light. Here is the duplicolor graphite that you were looking at: http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k10/tripleskate/DSC02166-1.jpg Sorry for the blurry photos, it's cold as hell outside and my hands were shaking.
