Thinking if using Yoko AVS Sport or Michelin PS2 or Toyo T1. Thinking about cost, noise, and ride quality. Of course this is for 20' Application

I'll reply since no one else will. I have the Toyos and I love them. Best value for the money. I had Yokohamas on my 325i back in high school and I hated them. Though that was almost ten years ago.

About a year ago after doing all the research, I originally wanted the PS2. At that time the rears (275s) were on national back order so the wheel dealer let me demo a new set of the T1Rs until the PS2s came in...For the price as well as acceptional ride quality I just kept them. As for handling, they seam OK, no spin outs yet!!!!

How's the treadwear? If I'm running 20" tires, should I expect a better ride than 18 RFT? Any comprimises?

20" Ride Quality over 18 RFT: Really depends on the tire you choose and the roads you drive. Here in CA I think it's like night and day...non RFT is 100 tmes better.

Thanks for the info, based on cost, I'll probably be running Yokes AVS Sport or Toyo T1R depending on what the shop will deal with.
