Tires in good condition are important to the safety of your care

85% of vehicle owners don’t check their Tire pressure regularly! It’s just one of those things we don’t think about until it’s obvious there is a problem, or it’s too late. Even with all the hi-tech goodies found in today’s modern automobiles, tires are probably the single most important safety feature on your vehicle. Without tires you’re not going anywhere. One of the easiest ways to maintain the performance and longevity of your tires is to keep them properly inflated. Check air pressure in all four tires at least once a month, or before a long trip, and inflate them to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended level. This information is also often located on a placard in the vehicle’s doorjamb. Here are a few things you can do to keep your tires properly inflated and in good shape:

- Invest in a good pressure gauge. Remember, gas station gauges are often inaccurate.
- Hot air expands. For accurate pressure readings, always check your tires when they are cold.
- Beat the Heat. In summer, it’s best to inflate tires in the morning before the day heats up.
- Check valve stems for cracks or damage. Make sure all valve stems are capped tightly to minimize air loss.

Rumormill: $170k BMW M3 GT/GT4 Street probably not coming to U.S.

Well..IF they do make it to U.S. soil and over to the SF Bay Area, we hope to see one come by the shop:

No three letters get Bimmer fans as riled up as CSL. The initials have historically been applied to lightweight, performance-focused versions of BMW’s most extreme machinery. But while BMW isn’t currently offering any CSL models for public consumption, the emergence of an M5 CSL and spy shots of a potential M3 CSL have Munich’s followers frothing at the mouth.

The former turned out to be a one-of-a-kind special. But details on the latter are beginning to circulate, and they look promising. Firstly, sources suggest that the model won’t wear the CSL designation at all, and instead be labeled either M3 GT or M3 GT4 Street, in reference to the homologated racing version.
