For the price... general Exclaim UHP / Hankooks....

If you were a chipped 335i and needed traction = g-force T/A's

ragingclue · 03-31-2010, 03:25 PM

A048

betaman10 · 03-31-2010, 03:27 PM

If you have an XI I would highly recommend the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I have them on my 330xi and they are awesome. Wonderful on ice and snow and great in the wet and dry. They also are quite cheap.

Mendossa · 03-31-2010, 03:28 PM

On my 2nd set of Khumo SPT, 3rd set of Khumos overall. Satisfied customer.

How about GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires? They're great tires.

yaaa but i have winter tires already so i wont be needing them on ice..but thanks for the recommendation

What are you looking for in tires? Maximum grip, smoothness of ride, length of tire life? The BF Goodrich are awesome for grip, but their lifespan is relatively short, even just from regular driving situations like commuting.

FWIW, the A048's that were suggested have a short lifespan as well, most Lotus guys who are running them are ecstatic to get 5,000 miles on them, 3,000mi is common.

im looking for a little bit of everything to be honest..i use my car as a daily driver but i tend to drive rather spirited (safely) most of the time and would like the traction considering im already taking the plunge and getting rims and all..but i dont want to have to go out and get a new set in like 2 years...also remember i am running different tires in the winter so that should cut down on the wear

BTM · 03-31-2010, 03:38 PM

What size wheels are you running, and what size tire do you desire? Sidewall profile will affect ride quality significantly, as well as wheel diameter (the both are in fact linked since upsizing your wheels generally requires you to run a lower profile...the net effect can be more significant than you anticipate)

dcorn · 03-31-2010, 03:40 PM

Yokohama S-drive. I used to have the AVS ES100's on my car and I love them. The S-drives are the new model that replaced them, so I'm assuming they are just as good.

KDW2's are very good as well.

i was told to go with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 for a 19x10 and 19x8.5 setup

BTM · 03-31-2010, 03:48 PM

Bridgeston RE050A offer lots of grip and people get a lot of mileage out of them, they are middle of the road priced and I'm sure they come in those sizes. I'd look into those.

yaa i was recommended those by the person im getting the wheels from, but they are a bit more expensive then what i want to spend..ill prob spend up to $800 on everything if thats possible to get a good tire for

kugasman · 03-31-2010, 09:52 PM

The Goodyears come in those sizes, search on TireRack.

I am looking for tires of the same size for 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 wheels. I have heard a lot of good things about the ExtremeContact DW. They are a little more than the hankooks and DWS, but are a summer tire made specifically for North America. Does anyone here have experience with the DW's?

Navith@Varrstoen · 03-31-2010, 11:38 PM

Been hearing the Hankooks are good

Bimmer This · 03-31-2010, 11:39 PM

BF Goodrich KW's all the way!

02themax · 04-01-2010, 12:37 AM

I just ordered a set of the Conti Extremecontact DW tires as I have winters as well. Been hearing really good things about this tire, should be here in a week! I loooked at the hankooks, f1's and I have generals (theyre ok) but felt for a Max summer tire I'd go for the Conti's plus they got really good wear rating.

eeeboy · 04-01-2010, 12:50 AM

I have Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 on my M3 and they are much better than the stock Michellin Pilot sports

gizmo335i · 04-01-2010, 02:37 AM

I have the continentals on my benz and they are the best tires I have ever had...

MrHarris · 04-01-2010, 04:14 AM

Out of those I'd pick the V12's.
