My Ride: 2006 550i...Black/Auburn, Premium Pkg, Comfort Access, Cold Weather Pkg, Active Steering, Heated Rear Seats
hey everyone.. I have a 2006 550i and I'm going to put m6 wheels on my car. Not to experience with tires and looking for advice on tires. Anyone have any experience running these? I live in the suburbs of DC and I'm looking for an overall good tire, with a little performance. thanks

I have the FK452 on my E63. The FK452 are narrow tires compared to other tire manufacturers e.g. 285/25/20 is equivalent to 275/30/20 Toyo T1R in terms of width. The FK452's sidewalls are reinforced which helps with cornering and blowouts.

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
I have them on my old E39. A quiet riding tires. It looks good. The only set back is, it looks narrow compared to other tires.
