Toyo TI-Rs are a very good tire in my honest opinion.
Falken FK-452s are bang for the buck also.

yesterday i bought some new 20 "rims for my 525d m sport, when i first went to sorce the wheels a few weeks ago i was told that i need 245/35/20 for the front, and 285/25/20 for the rear. with michellin on the rear and avon on the front, what i actually got at the shop was 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 for the rear with Falken all round.
now i did do my research prior to buying and everyone told me 285/25/20 are the tires for the rear but the guy in the shop told me that i need 275/30/20 on the rears.
AND HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT KALKEN ARE GOOD TIRES RATED AT 180MPH.
can you guys help as now i am very confused

Michelin's maybe for 15,000 - 20,000.
Go either way - cheap and change more often or...
