Hi guys I'm having some trouble with deciding on what tires i should get i dont want to spend too much but i do want some performance so im not sure what brand or model i should get. Im going to run 245/35R19 on the front and 265/30R19 on the rear on my bbs lms. I was thinking of in the price range of max $1000 for the set. Please let me know what you guys think.

$1000...wow. Not really sure you can buy four tires, mounting, etc. for a thousand bucks. However, Dunlop or Hankook are fairly inexpensive. I would strongly suggest spending a wee bit more and get Michelin or Goodyear. Just be cautious of "summer" tires. I think it gets fairly chilly in Canada - Vancouver right?

Define BBS IMS? Thanks.

Those are all-seasons. If OP prefers summer performance, he might consider the Conti DW.

Either one.. Dws are little softer and have better wear rating. I see a lot of bmw in New Jersey with conti dws tires. Excellent tires, I am very happy with the set.
