My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.
Any feedback who has these on their E60 would be helpful whether good or bad, thanks!

I'm replacing my rears with Nexen N8000's tomorrow, as good as Continentals are the Nexens are less than half the price.
I'll let you know what I think of them after a few weeks.

I recently put on a set of four new Falken 452 tires (switched from Hankook's). They make me feel like I have Run-Flat Tires all over again. I hate them and can't wait to wear them out so I can get new ones. Comparatively to the 275/30/20 Hankook's, the new Falken 452's are making my back wheels looking wimpy due to its "rounded" sidewalls.
Personally, I think Hankooks or Potenza are better choices for just a few extra bucks. The Continental DWS also have good reviews...
