TIRES for my N54

e92_boost · 02-25-2015, 11:01 AM

So I was looking around and I was wondering has anyone dealt with this brand called LionHart

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=171333291471" rel="ugc" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://pages.ebay.co...1333291471</a>

Or the brand called ACHILLES ATR SPORT
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=251800833919" rel="ugc" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://pages.ebay.co...1800833919</a>

Or Kenda Kaiser KR20
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=141534687613

Which ones would you go with if you are on a Budget, because the PSS are kind of out of my budget cause I have to do some Maintenance on my car and I need tires because one blew.

If PSS are out of your budget I'd suggest Bridgestone S04 or a brand someone has actually heard of. Go to tirerack.com and sort by price lowest to highest and pick one with a good rating if you're more concerned with price.

some links don't work

those are cheap Chinese brand that have been known to randomly disintegrate...

e92_boost · 02-25-2015, 11:30 AM

Yeah those are out of the picture I rather use my credit card and buy a brand tire then cheap out what's your guys input on these:

Dunlop Direzza DZ102
Pirelli P Zero Nero GT

Or whatever you guys recommend something under 700

I would get used hankooks v12's with over %75 treads instead of unnamed cheap tires. I am sure you can find a set here about $400..

If you hate V12's, you are gonna hate way more if you get one of the tires you posted bro just saying..

MrSilverwing · 02-25-2015, 12:53 PM

Anyone have experience with Toyo Proxes?

scottp999 · 02-25-2015, 12:59 PM

Michelin Pilot Super Sports. You will not regret it, worth the extra money.

n54gte · 02-25-2015, 01:03 PM

Yes I LOVED the proxes on my old m3 I drove them down to the wiring popping out they STILL didn't pop, my V12 had good tread and they popped.

Well get the Chinese tires then, you obviously don't care about yours or anyone else's safety on the road.

Tires don't just POP either. Something had to cause it that wasn't the tires fault.

I do care about the safety of others, and I don't know what caused it cause I was driving under the speed limit when it popped.

Nitto 555R

cheaper than PSS, lasts longer than PSS and much stickier.

Really? I've been looking at their tires and love the designs they have on them. Can you send me a link on where to order these I tried a few sites nothing.

Hokie_BMW · 02-26-2015, 12:20 AM

If your on a budget why not check out the DW's. Not as good as michelins imo but still a solid tire and a lot cheaper.

Or maybe check out a local tire shop. A lot of people get factory tires on their cars then immediately switch. Ask them if they have any slightly used tires they'd be willing to sell you.

The OP stated the PSS tires are out of his budget in the first post.

Understood, I read it

. They qualified the statement with "kind of" which means hesitant to completely rule it out ("...because the PSS are kind of out of my budget..."). Some things you just don't skimp on, like tires, or you regret it.

silver07335i · 02-26-2015, 01:05 AM

Kumho Ecsta SPT is also in the OP's price range.
