Tires for a M-5 aka "the beast"

[fadiha]

Okay, I'm in the market looking for a new set of tires for my M-5. The question is do we go with the "run flats" or do we do the dicy thing and buy a set of Michelin pilot sport tires. Any suggestions which would be the better set up ...

Thanks for your reply !!!

Well I would think that if you think you are a bit of a street racer then go with the Michelin's, but if you want a tyre that is very reliable, go with the run flats.

run flats suck IMHO. they are loud and have poor traction. you probably didn't buy an ///M5 to dolly around. Put some real rubber on those gorgeous wheels and have fun with the exponentially better traction you will get in comparison to the run flats.


just my $0.02

Bridgestone S-03s or Toyo T-1's is what I would buy.

id say the best traction would be with pirelli's but cooler tire is yokohama.
ive had good year and michelin, and not pleased with either.

i'm not terribly impressed w/ runflats. you have to install a tire pressure monitor, and once you do get a flat, you can only get it fixed once, then off you go dropping 2-300 bucks for a summer tire..

but once thing that's cool is not having to change a flat, when it's pouring out on the side of the highway..
