My Ride: 2006 530xi (Titanium Grey/ Black interior) Debaged, L.e.d. light upgrade throughout. ACS roof spoiler. H&R sport sprigs, Angel eye upgrade, euro sticker, ,matte black grills.
Hey guys...I have just received my new upgraded wheels but now i need tires. My wheels are 20 x 8 All around and need suggestions on tires and good feedback. I've had falcon, toyo, bfgoodwrich, yokohama, and now continentals but don't really know where to go from here now. I like the dunlops but not sure what the feedback is on them...

I have michelin pilot sports and they are GRRRRRREAT!!! I love em, grippy in wet and dry (see my album for pics of the tread). They aren't cheap, but oh so worth it. A good alternative is General Xclaims UHP's, Alpine White Girl has them and likes em.

All season or summer?
PS2 is a great tire, except you need to sell a kidney to get them. Look at Hankook V12 - the best bang for your buck, also general exclaims are highly regarded. If you are REALLY into brand names, get Bridgestone Potenza RE760s, but Hankooks or GE's will be the best tires you can get for your money. Guaranteed

Here's some info if you didn't already know:
For running 19s recommended tire size is 245/35/19 which gives you an outside diameter of 25.75". So like PJ said, the best size to get is 245/30/20 -- outside diameter 25.79". The only tires I can get a good discount on are Toyo and Falken. If you're interested in the Toyo T1R & Falken Fk452, let me know and I can get you pricing.
