Dear Able,
I own a 1997 E38 740il Black/Tan
For the winter months here in the Philadelphia, PA. area she is running with Michelin Pilot XGT 255/50/VR17's on BBS RX rims. I bought the Pilots because I waited too long and couldn't get the correct size Blizzaks. During the summer months & for track events at Pocono, she wears Michelin Pilot Sports 255/45/ZR18 on BMW rims (old 540i Sports) I have some pics on disk if you wish to see.

Regards,
Simeon
1997 740il
VIN# WBAGJ8322VDM08391 featuring:
Dinan Cold Air Intake
Dinan Cat back exhaust

BAS Strut tower brace
