Ordered my wheels 3 days ago ( 20" LMs reps) & ordered tires yesterday went with the FK 452's which I narrowed it down from the Falken 452 vs Hankook V12 thread.
Shout out to JG525i for that one.
Had my Ksports sitting in the garage litaerally all winter, been waiting for spring time to pop to install.
Wheels & tires should arrive early next week when those are in the next day Ksports will be installed. Can't wait to see & feel the upgraded performance of my 530i.
Will post pics when all is completed..

My Ride: 545I and a half dozen other rides
With active suspension 245/35R20 and 275/30R20 I find the 452s push a little when going hard into the corners. Then again I dunno why I push it so much with 20s in the corners.
I do have the coil overs set a little soft though.

I recently purchased the Hankooks and I haven't had any problems so far. My size is almost the same. The only difference is that I have 20's.

My Ride: See my signature
The last summer tires I ran on my now turned in E60 550 were the Hankooks. They were an excellent tire. Good grip, good wet and dry weather traction. Quiet ride. And no tramlining. I would buy again but for the fact that on my F10 550xi, I run the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.
