honestly why generals? they are very noisy and not as good as in quality. I wouldnt put that tire on bimmer honestly. go for either nt555 or falken.. yokohama is good also but general... i wouldnt risk putting them on for just being so cheap.
and for all season performance tires go for bridgestone 960as pol position one.. they are all season one with good rating but make sure to get it either from tirerack or bridgestone since they are cheaper than getting them from sears or ntb or whatever other store.... but when i was getting tires with same size i couldnt get them because rear tires were back ordered nationwide.. but that was like 6 month old story so they might be available...

I'm sure some of you will disagree with me (because we all seem to have our own opinion on the matter..
I would NEVER buy any tires except MICHELIN Pilot Sport A/S (or the summer performance version)!!!
After going nearly 50K miles (no joke) on my Mich's, I had the STUPID idea to try Toyo T1R's instead (just to change it up a bit). Biggest mistake of my life!! Spent the next six months tryin to convince Les Schnob to give my money back. The tires shook so badly (to put it simply) that my car felt like it was on a railroad track on an old school train.
Anyway, any tire other than Mich's on 19/20 inch rims will NOT feel as smooth as the Bimmer you should have! I've tried em all and read EVERYONE'S opinion.. nothing was even CLOSE to as smooth and performed as well.
YES THEY'RE EXPENSIVE but when you're finished dinking around with junk, you'll pay DOUBLE just to get something that works the way it should.
Just my two pennies.
Cheers.
