Wow, only $600 for a full set? I think that’s very good for performance tires. It cost me about $1200 for the Bridgestone S02’s (OEM specs) for my roadster. But a good subjective review nontheless.

I also looked at the Toyo tires, but didn’t see anything in forum reviews or comments to dissuade me from the OEM choice, including TireRack’s advice.

And as a side note, I found that Sears Auto Center was very competitive with their tire pricing to TireRack; they matched their price on the S02’s. I felt confident with the place I went to for their installation, balancing, etc. but I have heard horror stories about these places. YMMV.

1500 miles to see a BMW plant. I guess it could be worse, like all those douchebags who used to drive to Spring Hill for the Saturn meetings. Who the f*ck in their right mind would waste the gas to see a GM plant ?.

I’ve had my eye on these since I saw them in some car magazine. Man I need a tire guy. Anybody know a good tire place in the new york city area? All the ones I’ve been to have been not so great. From bad valves to actual tire damage from those outside clip weights.

SunnyvaleCA you are right about the speed rating, not ure where I got the 154 from, but of course that is mostly academic except for track use.

jmack91z28: I’ll visit what I damn well please but if you must know, the factory hosts a annual get together for Z3 and Z4 owners. Over 1,000 people and 600 cars showed up this year for dinners, track events, repair clinics and more. You can see pics of homecoming on my website at http://www.mjposner.com in my M Roadster link.

guyincognito: I like Michelins but I find they wear very fast and are a bit pricey.

i swear by falken azenis rt-615’s

i’ve got them on 2 cars; my daily driver i get 18k miles out of them and have not found anything that grips even close to as good as they grip.

i’ve also got them on a car i autocross with (for fun, i’m not that good, ha) i’m running -1.5º camber in the front and -1º in the rear; i only got 8k miles out of them on that car.

these are the best tires i’ve ever driven on; and they are cheap too (good when u have to replace them a lot) in 225/45/17 i found azenis for $116 per tire and that price includes shipping to your door. they don’t make them in 245/40/17, but they do make them in 255/40/17, if you can fit them on your wheel width. in 255/40/17 the azenis are $134.50 per tire shipped to your door.

i know of no better gripping tire regardless of price (i have seen tires that grip equaly as well but not better and they were 3 times the cost)

Doesn’t the W speed rating a top speed of 168, not 154? I’m referring to Tire Rack’s description here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=35

How do they compare to Michelin PS2’s? I have those as my summer tires on my M3 and find them to be simply amazing. Still, $230/tire…

24 years ago, when my dreadful ‘81 Mustang shredded one of its tires, I headed to the nearest Tire Kingdom with my high school budget and asked for the cheapest 13 inch tire – and I got a $27 Nitto. Whitewall, no less.

My, how times have changed.
