My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i Sport Package, Jet Black
M166 OEM Wheels
M5 Style Body kit
RPI Scoop
BMC Air Filter
Valentine One Radar Detector
35% tint all around
I recently put on new tires on my 545i sport. What a difference!
For those who still have RFT's my advice is change it! It's like a different car now. Someone was asking earlier to give my review as far as my experience with Pirelli PZERo Nero (my new tires)
1. The ride is much softer, more comfortable, no road noise at all - I only hear the engine
2. A lot off creaks and sounds in the car dissapeared - (my Bridgestone RFT's were too stiff i guess)
3. As far as handling -- Pirelli's are great in the city, sharp turns are much better. On the freeway I would give them 3.5 out of 5 - it's good but could be better (especially on high speeds 90+). I wish they could hold car on the road a little more - may be it's because the thread is too big and it might improve
