I don't remember. Ride is very stiff due to coilovers. A lot of members in SoCal however do have the Falkens or Toyos. Come to the meet next week and you can decide

My Ride: Jet Black 530i with some mods
i love my Toyo T1R's the handle well... and so far i have about 15,000 miles on them with very little signs of wear. They are rounded off a little more than the Falken's... and i don't have any rubbing issues at all. They ride quiet, and are very comfortable on the road.. I actually like the ride better than the stock tires i'm riding on right now.. (getting my wheels powdercoated).
toyo T1R's IMO are the way to go. In fact, Vincent @ EuroRev even said that they're a good tire for the e60's.
MacFly also has Toyo T1R's.
The size i'm running are 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear, and the price your getting sounds pretty good too. You could also try my tire guy for a quote if you'd like his name is Wayne at JW Motorsports.. 562-866-1761. He's in Bellflower.. Tell him that Al with the Black 5 series sent you.. I'll PM you the price you should pay....GL and let me know what you end up getting .....
Now hurry up and put those SWEET ASS rims on your car!!!!

My mistake...the question was directed toward nigx.
I work in cerritos but I'll be working that day. I'll have to sneak out for a bit but I'll stop by for an hour.....or two.
Thanks Leggo...I appreciate the info. So far the poll seems lop sided. I was leaning towards the toyos anyway but the price of the falkens had be hesitating for a bit. Now that I know Vincent can hook it up....I think I've made up my mind.

Let me elaborate on what Mikey here said,
Put it this way, T1R 275/30/20 = FK452 285/25/20 in term of width.
T1Rs are preferred for people that like to dump their whips
True, but as of last weekend I've had blow outs on both Falken and Toyo. The Falken did maintain structural rigidity, or what was left of it unlike when I blew out the Toyos. Rocking Yokohama ADVAN Sport now, at least in the rear.
False. More likely to rub with Falken than Toyo.
Didya get all that, Mike?

Well, the Falken's are not as wide as the Toyo T1r's...
Also the Toyo T1r's side wall is round, and Falken's sidewall is square.
T1r's sidewall is not as strong as Falken's... Also Falken's are newer.
Its your choice. =) You might rub with the T1r's compared to the 452's.
