i would say Conti,s but out of the choice you should go with falkens, i had them on my X5 And 730d before, and was quite pleased.

Hah! 19" wheels ordered at last 
! Nothing fancy though...
Time for tyre order then. It will be a non-staggered setup with 245/35 R19.
I have some choices here. I hope you could tell me your opinions/experiences.
And sure recommend something else too if you wish!
1) Nokian Z
+ I have had very good experiences on Nokian summer tyres before. I've had 2 sets of NRVi's (In a Toyota).
+ I'm running Hakkapeliitta 5's at winter time and they're superb too!
- These Z's are made in Japan not in Finland
2) Falken FK452
+ lots of happy users here (?)
3) HANKOOK Ventus V12 Evo K110
+/- ???
I appreciate your input!
ps. Sorry about another tyre thread...

I wouldn't use any one of these.
What would you use then?

Sorry... I was too lazy to type.
I need quiet + performance + comfort.
You can read the ratings on tirerack.com for your research.
My pick is bridgestone RE050A PP, it is very quiet, good traction and comfort as review. Price was a lot cheaper last year.

My Ride: 07 E61 530d M-Sport.
Personally I would only go for tyres that have been proven to be top performers. The tyre is all that keeps you on the road or stops you in an emergency and I wouldnt try and save money on them. My personal choice would be the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric or Continental Sportcontact 3s they are top performers in all areas with the F1s winning quiet a few tyre tests now.
