Have a set of rims I want to put new rubber on. Last couple of sets have been Yokohama advans which are fine but are pretty expensive. What do people recommend ??

I ran Goodyear F1 ASY2s on my 335i & they are an excellent tyre. I never ran out of grip with them in the dry & they were very good in the wet or cold. Goodyear have recently bought out F1 ASY3s haven't tried these but if they are an improvement on the ASY2s they'll be very good indeed.

I changed to PSS back in the summer & I would say Michelins are slightly better in the dry but not as good if it's cold & wet.

Only downside with the F1s was I only got between 6/8000 miles out a pair of rears so unless I get a lot more miles out of the Michelins I'll go back to the F1s when I've worn these out

Thanks for the feedback Chappers that's excellent advice. I'll take a look at these and see how they stack up on price. Cheers mate

If you're going ST you'll need PSS/PS4S at a minimum otherwise something like the nitto NT05's etc

Had the same dilemma on tyres Socks. I ended up going with Bridgey Pretenza's S001's as I was in a rush at the time. T e m p e tyres have PSS fairly cheap. Check them out, even though they are in Syd, gives you something to perhaps bargain with. What I never could find out is will the Sedan E90 fit 265's on 19's, ET35. I am fairly sure you can run that big on the coupes. You may need those with single Turbo horsey power..

Hey DrJ might have to go PSS. Already have the Nittos on the black rims and they are less grippy then the Yokohamas. I guess cheap and grip are a hard combo to find

How do you find the S001s Monty?? 265 def fit on the coupes without rubbing. Might even get away with 275 with some rear camber. Sounds like PSS might need to be the next set, I'll certainly get a price from Tempy to see if I can leverage a better price. Thanks
