My Ride: 2006 550i SMG
Had to get new rears again due to massive inside wear (Gotta find a reliable SoCal alignment shop). Decided to go with the best for the money using TireRack reviews since I plan on trading in for something different in 9-12 months when the new BMW offerings are released such as 400+ hp 7 series.
The Toyo fronts were starting to ride hard since the fronts had aprox 55K on them but to my surprise actually looked like they still had 1/2 the tread on them! Replaced them anyway since I had to get new rears and with these Yokohamas basically got 4 tires for what I've been paying for 2. Can't beat the price: $160 fronts $169 rears!!! Time will tell if this was a good decision but in my normal commuting they feel good.
