Best Tires

[xxxm3xxx]

What kind of tires should I get on my 97 m3 for best take off and handling [bmwdance] ? I dont really like the stock micheline's. Also what about drag radials? Thanks

Two great performance tires are the Toyo Proxie and Michelin Pilot Sports. These tires are known for their handling, cornering and overall performance. "Drag radials" are good for going in a straight line, not something you want on your street car.

What tires do you have on your M Roadster in your sig. Big Daddy? I like the tread design. Are those the Michelin's?

 

[Big Daddy]

No the ones in the sig are Kuhmos. They are a good tire, cheap and long wearing but they do not have the handling the Proxies or Pilots have. I can't get them to wear out.......darn it!

That is the one! They are by far the least expensive and do hold their own, but a Proxie is much better, just cost twice as much.

I have Michelin Pilot Sports on my car. Damn sticky tires although they are not nearly as great in the rain. Bridgestone Potenza S-03's are a great street tire, I will be switching to those when my Pilot Sports wear down (although I have 12K miles and they're still going strong).
