Smash burger is actually one of the best burger joints as well. This is the first time I ate at one but the service and food was great!!!

I'm in need of new tires as well, and will probably go with Hankooks. I've heard a lot of good things, plus bang for the dollar. I was running the Falken's but only got 8k out of the rears. The fronts still look fine. I think what I'm going to have to do is reduce the camber in the rear to get a little more mileage out of rear tires. I drive A LOT for my job.

I've just gone for Pirelli P7 Cinturato x 4 - they are rated as more grippy than the fitted Goodyear NCT5 and certainly feel that way. The wear is expected to be a bit more but safety in the wet is better.

Conti dws is ok, just put them on my wife's 550i sport. Pretty quiet, difficult to balance, dont look as nice as other tires, seem narrower. Would do michelin if i had to do it again.
