I have read through the threads and I've seen several people recommend the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 as an affordable yet quality tire, but have also read that the sidewalls on these are soft. I live in Minneapolis, so these will only be on the car in the spring/summer/early fall but I will need tires with a strong sidewall because of the potholes out here. Also, I came across this listing ( http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=961454) selling the Rohana's that I want + the Hankooks and in the close-up picture the wheel is sticking out quite a bit from the tire. What's that about? It looks like the wheel doesn't fit correctly in the tire/the tire doesn't cover the width of the wheel and that a mere tap to a curb would do serious damage to the wheel if it sticks out like that. Maybe he pulled the rim out just for the photo? Please let me know bc I don't like the looks of that!
I have also heard that Nitto sells a good tire at a quality price.
Thoughts? Tire suggestions? Thanks again in advance! |
I'd recommend Pilot SuperSports. My school of thought is if it's good enough for an M5, it's good enough for my regular 5.
A cheaper alternative is the Hankook V12 Ventus EVO which costs 554 for a set in your size (link on tirerack:

The Pilot SS will end up costing you double but will be higher quality. I would personally go with the SuperSports but that's up to you.
Good luck OP!
