I just put goodyear triple thread a/s tires on my bimmer. So far, they run good and quiet. They are pretty new to the market. You may wanna consider that option as well. They come with 85,000mi warranty. :wave

which one do you prefer on a BMW coupe (handling durability look)?
the Michelin Pilot Exalto
the Dunlop Le Mans 702
the Continental Premium Contact
the Bridgestone Potenza G3
FUZION TIRES, ARE THE BEST FOR THE MONEY, POINT BLANK. I OWN A RIM SHOP AND I SWEAR BY THEM. I HAVE A 94 325 CPE, 235-40-17 REAR 225-45-17 FR, GOOD LOOKS AND HANDLING YOU WON'T BELEIVE, THERE LIKE $85-$90 A TIRE FOR YOUR SIZE
I reccomend the continentals. I've had no problem with mine on my M3. Not only are they usually cheaper, i've found that they perform better in wet conditions.

Go to tirerack.com, as others have stated, and do a search and check reviews. I have BFGoodrich's KDWS, z-rated all season. SO far pretty good, tho they seem to follow grooves in road pretty wicked.
The Pirelli P-Zeros seem to get the best rating. Thats what I'll do when these when the BFG's wear out.
If you like me.. and you go through some tires.... (I buy a set probably ever 4 months or so... ).. I also auto x too.. I use Kumho Exstra Supra... good auto cross and wet tire...
Falken's, khumo ecstasa's (not the supras) and now perili
I have the perili nero m/s ones and I gotta say, after you break them in, they really are nice. Much quieter ride than my khumos I was running on, but the sidewall isn't softer than them in the least. In the begining, you'll think they REALLY suck, but give them a few hundred miles and your opinion will change.
Wet traction is absolutely amazing compaired to the khumos.
i have goodyears on mine, but id say michelin makes the quality goods from my experience
