LOL!!! i have a feeling hes gotta settle for some random tires like Fuzion ZRi's hahah

 

Yeah, Kuhmos FTW LOL

 

I recently switched from nitto nt 555's to the conti dw's. I'm surprised how my car's handling characteristics has diminished w/ a tire swap. The cornering stability is avg, steering response is avg, and dry weather traction is ok. If you are looking for wet traction and steady cruising, this tire is for you. Otherwise, stay w/ the nitto's, hankook's, and ps2's. Btw, I decided on these tires based on tirerack ratings and reviews....very disaapointed to say the least!

 

The ratings at tire rack are not by the same type of drivers, like most people on here. Not that there's anything wrong with either type of driving, but when it comes to owning a cutting-edge German machine, I'd rather have best possible tires to get the most handling out of it.

I'd love to try out the PS2's, but their price and the fact that their sidewalls are still softer than NT05's just makes them look like such a waste. I'm pretty sure I'll be going with the NT05's, unless I find a better tire.

After all though, I still have a little bit of time before the driving season starts

 

cutting edge my ass, our e60s are old as fawk now and you have an xi

get the falkens and please stop your silly lil threads V lol

 

Bro, you're starting to get on my nerves.

 

good

 

BTW E60 has better overall objective handling figures than the F10 and handles great.

As for Xi, you seem to have some penis stuck in your ear, cuz you just don't farging hear me: AWD sticks BETTER than any RWD car. WTF you think, I'm kidding when I say my car keeps up with 550's and M5's through curves?! GTFO with your show-all, do-nothing slammed poked stretched and adorned with some gay-ass burberry sh1t exhibit - it belongs on a bad episode of pimp my ride :thumbsdown:

 

mods, close this biatch out of here, before I snap for real

 

I'm also on the lookout for new tires, so I believe this thread would be useful to other people on the forum as well My current summer tires setup is Conti SportContact 2 and I'm sort of pleased with them, but they're pretty close to EOL and I'm looking to change them with something else.

My previous car (fwd drive ~300hp and 500 Nm) came out with Conti SC2 from factory and I replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza Re050A after running out a 2nd set of Contis. I was quite pleased with Re050A from Bridgestone. The tire itself felt a bit softer than the SC2, but traction from start felt a lot better. The Contis were great once warmed up, especially at high speed cornering, but the only thing that could warm up that tire was speed - not the ideal city tire, but quite good for highway/speedy curvy roads. The Contis also had terrible aquaplaning (hydroplaning?) qualities, where the Bridgestones felt rock solid when hitting deep water.

I was thinking of getting a set of Re050A's for my '06 550i as well, but it seems I won't be able to get a hold of those here, because no one has the 275/30/19 size in stock

I'm curious if anyone has any impressions on the RE-11 or S001?
