Congrats....This is defineatly one of the best rides in the class!
Interesting wheels, I haven't been paying attention to what the 07s were coming wth and Goodyears too. How do they ride?
I said the same thing. I was a little shocked when I saw that I had Goodyear's on there also. Most 550i non-sport came with Conti's. They ride fine, however I only have 65 miles on the car hahah. They are actually more money then the Conti's if I had to replace them. Apparently Goodyear's are made in Germany, another shock! One tire had 45 PSI, so that was a problem. Once I adjusted that, it rode like a Cadillac from the 70's!!

You need a bigger wheel to solve the Cadillac problem, how about 20'
