Suggestion on non-RFT

munu · 11-18-2009, 09:07 PM

I need to change the tires on my 335i (e90 with sports) as soon as possible. I wanted to go with non-RFT tire this time. After going through this forum I have short listed these 2 tires

Michelin PS2 Sports
Good year A1 Assymetric

Michelin are $250 more on set of four. I live in Florida (no snow) and don't do any tracking. Could you guys please help me finalize the decison on which one to go for.

Thanks

E46s came with the michellin PS2, i remember them being good grip tires!

i am very happy with falken fk 452. They are a summer tire, I live in Miami.

I am very pleased with the PS2. I would buy again of the Goodyear despite being more expensive.

You would get a better response in the Wheels and Tires Forum.

Changed to continental extreme contact dws, so far so good.
If u have no snow, may be continental extreme contact dw without S.

I've had a set of Yokohama S-Drives for the past few thousand miles. Love them so far! Quieter, grippier, and way more comfortable than stock RFTs. I think they were about $850 for the set from Discount Tire.

My Nitto Invo's have significantly quited and smoothed the ride.

I have Sumitomo HTRZIII, for the price they are awesome.

I am really happy with my Hankook Ventus V12 Evo summer tires. They run a little narrow so you could easily go 235/265 but have much better grip, less noise, and not nearly as jarring as RFTs. $600 for the set from Tirerack so you can't beat the price. C&D did a comparo with a bunch of tires using the PS2 as the benchmark and the Hankooks beat them handily.
