Between TireRack tests, reviews, ratings, and people's reviews across various BMW message boards these seem like great tires. 95% of the performance of Contis and PS2s but much cheaper.

I guess I'm looking for a little more convincing . Anyone used them?

no experience with those tires but can I suggest taking a look at the General Exclaim UHP tires i used those and they are great. Best bang for your buck tire in my mind.

III is supposed to be way better than II.
