I need recommendations on tires for my '06 525i w/ sports package. currently have Sumitomo htz 11, they held up pretty well for 35000 miles wit excellent handling in dry & wet conditions. The only gripe i have about 'em is a the road noise, which to me seemed more than the OEM. I am looking for great handling summer tires with not too much road noise. Also is it better to stick with Runflats or regular tires. Thanks

I don't even run them and I'm +1 on this recommendation.
Should I need to replace the General Exclaim UHP I have for my winter set up and If I still have my e60 and if these Conti's are still available and not replaced by something better I'll be very willing to give them a shot.
Tirerack must be shipping a bunch of them lately and they may come in short supply but there's gotta be a reason for that. Remember, if you shop and buy thru the link in my signatue you'll earn some cash rebates whenever you shop and buy on line at TireRack and hundreds of other on-line stores.
My momma used to say it's not how much you make it's how you spend it ...

After considering all the options i believe i am gonna go with Hankook V12 evo. several forum members recomm it as best price 2 performance ratio. Also the CAR & DRIVER ARTICLE AND REPUTABLE GERMAN MAGAZINE ARTICLE did it for me. Also $430 installed w/ Rebate, can't beat that. Thanks 4 the advice fellas.Hoping it's the decision !!!
