What tires are you putting on your 20s on the F10?
I would guess the top 2 choices would be the Continental ExtremeConctact DWS vs the Michelin PSS.
Unfortunately the Michelin A/S 3 is not available for the sizes needed for the 20" application. For OEM wheels of 20x8 in the front and 20x9 in the rear, I am assuming most go with 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 (or maybe 285/30/20). |

If you go with 285 on the rear, you should go with 10-11 for wheel size. 9 is too narrow.

The Michelin tires are great. But if you want more of a summer performance tire then the hankook v12 tires are a great bang for your buck! |

Yes, thank you so much for that quote! I believe the standard A/S tires are not that well reviewed. I was trying to get into A\S 3s; however, it seems that they are not available in the 20" sizes we need for the F10. That prompted me to start this thread. I know the A/S 3 is available for the 19 staggered set-up.

Thanks buddy. I guess they may be comparable to the popular Hankook?
The tire debate may be the difference to me for either staying with 19" wheels or stepping up to 20". I know people say the Conti's are soft, but maybe that may work well for comfort with a 20" wheel. I guess a softer sidewall could lead to wheel bending as well . |
