Just bought a set of these last week. So far they are very quiet, much easier on the bumps, but the cornering ability isn't as good as my Michelin's were. Overall, the value is amazing.

I had the 275/30/19 on the rear to begin with but then took a chance on the 35's
Can I tell you-- Its a big difference
1. Quieter Car
2. Super Awesome Look
3. More wheel protection (On the rear)
4. Better suspension behavior
I have a regular suspension - Non sport and the car only rubs on huge bumps just like it would on the 30's
Check out the picture and tell me if you dont like the rugged beefier rear wheel look on the car.
The picture doesn't do the car justice but looks way too cool in person. Have received tons of compliments. My friend "Howitzer" does deserve a lot of credit for helping me out.
I probably just missed somethin' but why are the odd sizes?Can I tell you-- Its a big difference

Then again, I hope I won't rub too much, I'm already pretty low-ridin' it. heheP.S. - Someone else with the whale fin! wooooo!

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
so which would you guys say is the better tire, Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 or Continental Extreme Contact DW's?
I had my car inspected today and they said one of the rear Hankook's needs replaced already - only put 7,500 miles on them since installed in March of this year.
Will the DW's, with 340 rating last longer than the Hankook's with only 280?
Can't believe I have to replace these Hankook's already, damn.
thanks.

Thanks for the tires 'theracerboss'. I think I will go with the 35's in the rear too now after seeing your car. Great to meet you and very very smooth and honest transaction on your DW's man. thanks again.
Your car looks great too! And those HID fogs, talk about BRIGHT! Jeesh, couldn't even see your headlights for the fogs man.
Hope to catch up with you again soon.

Thanks bha7176,
It has been a pleasure working with you
The Fogs are just 2 bright(lol) I am planning on converting them into my DRL's. Everyone asks me about them if I m running a 55W HID but they are just 35's.
If you are looking at 275/35/19, you might need your fenders rolled or you might not
