Help me choose new tires!

DOUT · 11-20-2010, 02:52 PM

Its about time I get some new tires, please help me!

I have a 2009 e90 lci 335i with the M Sport package and I have the OEM BMW 18" 193M Wheels.
Specs:
Front: 18" diameter, 8" width offset ET34.
Stock Tires: Michelin PS2 Run Flat 225/40/18

Rear: 18" diameter, 8.5" width offset ET37.
Stock Tires: Michelin PS2 Run Flat 255/35/18

The stock PS2's weren't bad by any means, but I definitely want more traction.

I was thinking of getting:
Advan AD-08
Nitto NT-05

Got any recommendations or even hookups to get discounted tires??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about those too. Anybody who drive with these tires on a similar setup care to chime in?

NT-05's are good. Hankook Ventus V12's are great for the money also for an all season tire. Toyo R888's are my favorite R-compounds.

PM me what tires you're interested in: brands, sizes, etc etc, and i'll see what I can do for pricing. I also have mounting/balancing services available.

I'm pretty satisfied with my Invos, pretty good street tire, and the tread design is pretty unique.
I would also recommend you take a look at the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires. Good luck

I've run NT05's, AD08's, Z1 SS and my favorite is AD08's, although they are pricey. Either way you cant go wrong with any of them. I'd also look into the new Hankook RS3's which have been doing really well in Redline Time Attack
