Hmmmm...IMO PS 2's are the best tires...their dry-road handling is awesome.....Having had dunlop....continental and PS2's on my 545....I would say that PS2's are the most grippy....with the continental behind. The dunlop run-flats are just ridiculous.....they start to lose traction everytime I try to drive more aggressively

I do not think there are 19" all-season. The tires are too thin to be all-season when the rims are 19 inches

the PS2's are quite pricey, im going to use these tires for the few months and i will let you guys know how they turn out. apparently they are very similar to the Bridgestone potenza's which got pretty good reviews
Remember I will only be using the tires for about 4 months out of the year (after i put on my winter tires)
Maybe in a year or 2 after these wear, i will put the PS2's on.

INCORRECT - TAKE A LOOK AT THIS THREAD
My PS A/S shoes are simply fantastic. You get much more wear out of the A/S series than the regular PS tires. Can't say enough good things about them. Expensive but well worth it. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to high performance tires.

Oops. At tirerack.com, I only did a search for the standard 2005 BMW 545i 20" sizes
245/30 -20 fronts and 295/25 -20 rears. And no tires/tyres came up.
Thanks for the info poleposition.
BTW. Nice wheels.
