???nitto tires???

[crawlermonkey]

so my tires are about to that point where I need to replace them. So I was wondering what everybody else is running on there precious ///M

[AlpineSixAndSeven]

..... never heard great praises for users... recommend Pirelli P-Zeros, or Mich. Pilots.... I love the P-Zero's I Have and I yet to lose traction in them even with a 302 v8....

[crawlermonkey]

I have mich pilots in the rear and not that happy actually in temps 50 and below can break traction in first and second gear.

[AlpineSixAndSeven]

do you need snow traction?

[crawlermonkey]

not not really the onlt time it snow it stays for about a couple hours then mels. I mean being able to do burn outs are cool except when your trying not to and want to take off in a hurry.

[AlpineSixAndSeven]

^yeah.... I love my pirelli's great grip get the M+S P-Zero's You'll like them.... i have 80 or so miles on them and love the traction they give me they made my mercedes (76 300D) handle ALOT better I now have a lot more confidence in the car.... and it's abilitys

BF Goodrich KDW's are sick.

I've got 335's on stang and marro, never failed me grip wise. Traction wise, they obey the master, but pushing 880hp and 920 ft lbs at just 3.2k rpm I think they understand who's the masta.

I agree on the KDW's. That's what I have on my 20"ers.

On my 18s, for a little more money, Michelin Pilot Sport 2's.

[crawlermonkey]

thanks for all the info. I think I am going to run bridgestone or pirellis.

[Montizzle]

I had NT Extreme 555's on my 325 and they were decent. But id recommend some Bridgestone Potenza's RE501 Pole Positions, or Michelin Pilot Sports. 2 Great tires for an M3 IMO

[crawlermonkey]

what about ADVANs by Yokohama? Bmw ran them on a couple of their m3s during races.

[ravenforbidden]

The good tire company's to follow for performance are

BF Goodrich number one
Nitto number two
Pirelli number three
Cooper number four
And
If you feel the need
to go lower
Bridgestone is okay,
Goodyear is sorta cheap, Yokohama I'd never run just me, no legitimate reason, Toyo's I hear are good too, but again no exp.

Nitto's are overrated for the cost, BF Goodrich is worth the money. Pirelli and Cooper have records to back em up too...

people forget toyo, toyo proxes t-1r's are badass tires, or if you are actually racing RA-1's are excellent(the tire turner motorsport uses)

my roomate runs t-1r's on his 1998 stg 2 supercharged m3 and they rock. ive done all kinds of antics in them, and for the price they are very good.

[crawlermonkey]

My roommate is partial to bridgestone or toyo. I have toyo on the front and mich pilots in the rear. front work great rear are ok I guess.

[AlpineSixAndSeven]

... yoko avids are good i guess i have them on the front of the lumina and i handles a bit better real nice rain traction
