If you always drive like a granny, it's okay to use regular tyres. But looking at how you guys driving on ND, I would recommend only S001 or PSS for you guys.

What is the price in HK? Sometimes price in Tirerack is not much cheaper than HK. Bridgestone is an exception because the HK hong goods is too expensive.

There is a good choice , cheaper but performance close to Michelin Pilot Super Sport & Bridgestone Potenza S-04.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) ? BMW AG is recalling 1.3 million 5- and 6-series cars from the 2003 to 2010 model years.

The company says that in rare cases a battery cable covering in the trunk was incorrectly installed.

The defect could prevent the car from starting and in extreme cases could lead to a fire. BMW says it knows of no accidents or injuries from the defect.

The company said owners will be notified by letter and that the repair should take about 30 minutes.

I am using Nitto NT05 now. Full set of 19" is about $9K. So far no complaint.
