Re: Need tires for my M3!! Please help (archive)

Last summer when my 98 M3/4 needed tires I was looking at the same choices plus the BFG KD tires. I picked the S02's and have been very hapy with them. They are great in the rain and seem to last longer and handle about as good as the the OEM tires. For the money, I hear that the AVS is a good choice as well. Good luck.

: I need new tires on my 99 M3(badly!) it has 12,500 miles and the OE Pilot Sports need to be replaced. I am considering

: Dunlop SP9000, Bridgestone S02's, and Yokohama AVS sports or perhaps replacing the Pilot Sports

: Can you give your opinions on these tires?I live in S. Florida where it rains everyday during the summer. I also would like a longer treadlife than the previous one i had(12k miles is kinda sad, maybe it was my fault hee hee)
: But I think I am leaning towards the Dunlop SP9000 because ive read great reviews from it in all aspects including wear, traction, wet weather and looks. Is it worth the extra $$ for the Bridgestones? Some say yes, some say no.

: Id appreciate it if you could just post your thoughts and reviews on the above listed tires, or any others you recommend for that matter!

: Thank you VERY much, I really do appreciate your time
