My Ride: Nov 2003 530D SE Auto in Mystic Blue with Grey Dakota Leather, Business Nav. Star Spoke 124 18"s, Blootooth Preperation.
Modifications so far: M5 spoiler, M5 trunk finisher, hometronic rear view mirror, Maple Wood interior trim.
Mods to come: M5 style quad exhaust and M5 rear bumper, Dechroming, black ebay grilles, tints, upgrade to factory amp, by the time I've done these, I'm sure I'll have thought of some more....
I just got my hands on a set of perfect original 166m rims without tyres for UK?620 , and have just ordered these tyres from www.blackcircles.com
Falken GRB FK 452 245/35 R19 Y 2 ?138.30 ?276.60
Falken GRB FK 452 275/30 R19 Z 2 ?151.03 ?302.06
Subtotal: ?578.66
VAT: ?101.26
Total: ?679.92
so UK?1299 (about US$2470) gets me a set of as-new 166ms with new falkens, i consider falken a good brand, and will report back here on how i find them once theyre fitted, that price includes fitting/balancing etc.

I always have to give a shout to the General Exclaims which I have on my car. They are probably not the best, but they cost $550 for a set of 4 (19" staggered 245/275) on Tire Rack, and they are rated the highest on that site for their category by most consumers.
After buying Replica wheels for a leased car (that I would have for only 3 years) and having to abandon the old tires with only 200 miles on them, I needed to consider costs of the tires.

For that kind of money, you can have fun with your car too, not having to worry about the cost of doing burnouts and drifting
price for performance, you've probably done the best out of any of us i'd warrant. Id like to hear a comparison from you if you ever get a chance to compare your own experience with a more expensive set

It's all about value for money! Sounds like a sensible choice to me!

After I put on the lowering springs, which will create a rougher ride, and I get the tires rebalanced this weekend (I am putting on the new TMP sensors), I will be in great shape to report back. For value, these have to be some of the best tires that I have owned (I have generally looked for mid-priced quality tires in the past). Are they the absolute best, I am not sure???? I certainly would not question anyone here who really loved another brand, but the problem is that those other brands cost 2-3 times as much.
Best,
