I've been blown away by Toyo's Proxes T1-S on my current car (not an E60).? It's perhaps the best perfomance tire on the market.? It was the tire used by the SCCA SPEED World Challenge Touring Car series for several years before they switched to the race version from Toyo.? Sidewall is on the soft side for a high performance tire yet the grip is phenomenal.?


Just as an aside, a fraternity brother and good friend of mine is a driver/owner in that series - James Clay #36 - http://www.world-challenge.com/2005/entrylist-tc.html?

His team races 3-series exclusively.

Well, Toyo is a good tire, but remember, Toyo is a sponsor of that series and the drivers have no choice on what tires they run, so don't draw any conclusions from that fact. I think you'll find that there are grippier tires out there...PS2, BFG KD, for example, but T1-S is probably an excellent choice for a car like the e60.

I replaced the default Dunlops a couple of weeks ago, and can tell you that I love the PS2's that I got as replacements. Great performance, dry or rain, and does not over-transmit road bumps like the RF Dunlops did.
