How much are you willing sell? And where are you located? Thanks for the heads up.

 

Hankooks are the best out of the bunch you've listed. If you want a comparable falken tire it would be the FK453, its asymmetrical similar to the michellin pss

 

I had the Mich. PS A/S 2's and were fine for the first 10,000 mi. After that they were noisier than hell and started to chunk on both front tires! Alignment was checked and good. Ended up going to Michilin MXM4's! They've been great with over 10,000 on them! A much better ride!

 

Michelin PS2 A/S 2. Almost as much grip as the PS2 summer tires and I've not had any issues with them, chunking or otherwise. Bought them at Costco, so if there was a problem, the warranty will cover it. Check in with Tire Rack for all sorts of tire reviews and decide for yourself.

 

I just bought a set of the SumiTomo's last month. I like them! I don't find them to be loud. They are def quieter than the hodge podge set that was on the car when I bought it last year. The guy at Merchants told me the the company has typically made tires for industrial use, and recently gotten into passenger car tires and that it's a good company and they make good tires so I went with it and got them and I've been happy with them so far! Good luck with your choices!

 

I am ready for my third set of tires 19" for my 550i. I had General UHP, really liked the stiffness in the ride. Brother teased me about the truck tire look. Based upon TireRack reviews I purchased Continental DWS. Have absolutely hated these tires since the day they were put on. Way too mushy.

I decided that I would purchase Michelin Pilot Super Sports no matter what. I just put a set of them on my other car. Back in Jan TireRack's web site said they would not be back in stock until March, now there web site says May 30. I am not sure I should wait that long, so I am in a quandary as to what to purchase, so I am interested in reading this thread for people's opinion.

 

So, I have Falken 453's on my 20's. I've put about 2k miles on them and so far so good. I had the older 452's prior. I would've gone with another set of 452's when they needed replacing but wanted to try the newer 453's for the asymetrical tread design. Being able to swap sides (for longevity) was a selling point. I believe they were on par pricewise with the Hankooks.

I have Michelin Pilot AS on the stock 19" and those tires are NOISY. Although I have approx 20K on the tires..

 

How much does a set of rubber cost for 20s? I run Michelin PSS in the summer, and hakkas in the winter, and you'll have a hard time convincing me to change my ways.

 

I've had good experience with Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires. I've used them before on other cars and they aren't too noisy. They have pretty good grip for an inexpensive street tire.

 

BMW Ms now come with Continental..not an endorsement, just an observation. Apparently bridgestones have been kicked to the curb..
