Are you serious?
If it's the case, I would get rid my ACS and got that mighty V3 immediately

You have 18" rims? Your tires seems aftermarket. Not stock.

Try to get a few spins with your gal friend on Repulse Bay Road. If she doesn't feel like puking, let me know.

the 18" were upgrades..that i am sure of..but they are BMW stuff..but they suppose to be run flats too i thought..but these arent i think.

I drove to stanley the other day..i tried to roll it..it didnt really feel like it but i didn't get to go too fast...maybe i am fantasizing that inside the car everything is modded and i got so lucky..hahaha...but i drive my parent's s class and i can feel the roll and the "float" so i know what it feels like..the car seems relatively flat when i do a hard turn..but maybe i will go figure it out when i eventualyl one day meet u or try someone elses car

Try see if there's a star mark on the tire, every RF got a start mark on the tires. Don't think Yokohoma make RF...

Yokohoma are crap
tried AD07 and AD08 and both are good for about 10000km after that they start to slip.
I had Normal stock Yokohoma on my stepwgn and in rain I had wheels spin, no grip at all.
I change to Dunloop DZ101 and they not good as well, now I have RE11 and no wheel spin at all in rain.

Go for the best!
PZero Hero
Michelin PSS
Bridgestone S001

If you want to complain about rolling, you need to first have very sticky tires on the F10

I did a search prior to buying them as well and couldn't find any reviews on those. Until I asked Pirelli and they basically said that the PZero Hero is the top of the range PZero line and most commonly just refered to as the PZero. So if you look at tire rack, the PZero without any additional moniker is what we call the PZero Hero. The Hero rubber was (I believe) reformulated couple years ago to be very sticky

Yup, go for PSS, Pzero, S001. All around the same price. 16k-17k per set. I got Advan Sport and have to say they are not bad for the price 12k+. But definitely not as good as the others.

Heard that PSS is softer than the other two from the tire guy. Side wall not as stiff therefore more quite. May be more body roll? But he said not more stock for our size. All sold out for the time being.

Rims cheap compared to the tires.
