Best Tires??

bimmerlvr77 · 05-15-2012, 10:49 AM

Looking to replace my rft on my e92 w/zsp. Just looking for some good, reliable tires that I'll get decent wear out of that don't break the bank. My oem rft have 17k on them and backs already need replaced. I live in Atlanta so no snow, etc. and my driving style is pretty "normal.". I'm considering conti dw, Hankook v12,...any others I should look into?? Thanks!

In Europe is PZero a good value.

I have the hankooks, seem pretty good for the money

Have not had the pleasure of running on my 335 (yet),but I am quite fond of Nitto NT555.... and they do come in stock sizes....

the "best" tire would be
Michelin Pilot Super Sports

Second best most say are Continetal DW's

If price is a concern the Nitto 555's or the Vredestein UltraC Sessanta are great tires.

I am currently running Continental DWS in the front for longevity and Vredestein UltraC Sessanta in the rear.

+1. You can't beat these tires for the price.

Thanks for all the input everyone! Gonna pull the trigger on a new set in the next few days.

bimmerlvr77 · 05-15-2012, 07:53 PM

Where did you find the Kumho's for $500??

mlifxs · 05-15-2012, 07:57 PM

Sumitomo HTR Z3 are pretty responsive and priced right. I managed 40k+ miles on Florida roads. Only complaint is they are a little noisy.

I picked up a set of 225/45R17XL for my E91 for just over $400 (shipped).
