Bottom line, everything is good EXCEPT sumitimo, falken, or hankook tires.

I got talked into the Toyo's. They're OK but I don't think I would get them again. Ride is good but they are somewhat noisy.

There's a great thread going on: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=24139

Where this article is discussed and is a pretty good comparison of all the major brands in terms of performance.

I have been more than pleased with Michelin PS2s. In the past I have had Continentals on my BMWs, and I also had Toyos. The Michelin's are the best tires I have tried to date, but also the most expensive. It seems to me that the tire is how you communicate with the road to a large part, and therefore this is an area to emphasize.
