What are the size of the TRXs you bought?
Below TRXs are $400 a tire.. I may have the wrong size...BUT, that's $1600 + shipping and install, so close to $2k for "period correct tires"

I can go to discount tire and order some 225/50 R16 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S set of 4 shipped @ $155 each $620 total, + 100 install. So at most a $1000 shipped and installed with a 45k mile warranty (if you believe in tire warranties)..

Or Continental or BFGs for less...
To fit my style 5 16" wheels, the e38 ones or the e39 ones or my BBS RS 16s,
It just doesn't make sense for Me to spend and extra $1000+ on Period correct lesser tires. I can use that $1000 other places that matter more.
If I didn't drive the e24 and in sat in a Collection and had ultra low miles... maybe... alot of people drive them and want a reliable user friendly tire..
I don't use bias ply white walls on my TR4 either.. I run radials..
That's why I harp on TRXs......... I don't think they need to be pushed on BAT either...
