this is what the m3 guys' views on tires

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=267640

as a family car 99% of the time, factors that I myself will consider:

safety: wet performance, does it break away progressively
economy: weight, rolling resistance
price obviously

Only 1 factor for me...SAFETY! Tires and brakes are the last resort to prevent accident happen

if I was going to choose ps2 then I would go for V12 any day for half the price and 95% same performance
my rims wight less than the tyres at 25lb front and 26lb rear.
why you pick V12 not Hankook Ventus R-S3?

I don't know the wet performance on RE11. I use RE001(which is one grade down RE11) before changing to 19" and it was very reliable on wet ground.

If I change tire, I may change to RE001 again instead of RE11. RE11 is a bit over for my driving style.....slow!

Just checked the RE001 price from a tire shop in wanchai:
245/35R19 (front) : $2400@
275/30R19 (rear) : $2500@
