Another Can of Worms... Your thoughts on Tires....

I've just bought a set of the Falken 452's, but they are still sitting in the garage awaiting fitment, so I can only review cost & looks........and they were cheap :thumbsup: and look nice 8) ! Hopefully they will be on at the weekend and goodbye RFT's
 
Well Ship, since I have and love my RFT's:...

... :D
 
I have the Falken 452 tires on 19" CSL reps and I'm very happy with them. They're pretty quiet, tread life looks good so far, and, for a very low profile tire the ride is pretty good. :thumbsup:
 
General comment to people pleased with tread wear - YOU'RE NOT PUSHING YOUR CAR HARD ENOUGH :rofl:

I like the look of those too,

When I had my previous Z4 the Bridgestones although RFT gave me very impressive grip (dry summer use I'm talking)
Ive never driven on a set of Michelin tires, The PS2 doesn't look as aggressive as these,
For me its a toss up between the PS2's, GS-D3 Goodyears, and The Bridgestone RE-050A Pole Position

But now Ive seen the Potenza RE-01R I'm more swayed back to Bridgestone,

The stock Conti's on the M leaves a lot to be desired, However I have not tried them in summer months as seeing as theres nothing wrong with mine i'll see if there any good this year
 
I left half my rear tread at Atlanta Motor Speedway during drag season :D
Switched to the Pirelli P-Zero's and love 'em, good traction wet or dry.

Then you must disagree with Spokey :P
 
Just a quick comment on the Michelin Pilt Sport ZP. The ZP means zero pressure, so they are runflats.
 
Hankook K104 Sports. only come in few select sizes but identical grip/tire wear to the Michelin Pilot Sports ALL SUMMER tires. (not the A/S)
 
I've just swapped Brigestone RFTs for Falken 452s (on 18" rims), and I am a little underwhelmed. From reading other comments I was expecting a major difference, but there is still lots of tyre noise, tramlining and bouncing over every little bump. So, the only benefit I could see wass that 4 Falkens were £390 , and Bridgestones were £650+
 
Shipkiller-

Went with PS2's. Love 'em. As many have said, they are pricey, but in my opinion have improved the drivability of the Z4. That's my .02.
 
Ok i'll chime in here rather than starting a new thread.

I'm looking at getting either the PS2's or the F1 GS-D3 summer tires. Though i've pretty much decided on the F1's due to cheaper price and way sexier tread (IMO) I was wondering if ya'll could give any reviews from the Z4 perspective on both tires. I searched a little and it seems to be about half and half in favor of either.
I'm looking for 225/40ZR18 S fronts and 255/35ZR18 S rears.....but i'm curious as to what the 40 & 35 numbers represent....I must be blind and keep missing it on tire rack.
 
BlackSapphireZ...do you have the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons? I'm leaning towards ditching my Bridgestone RFTs for the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons.

michelins are little pricey... I went for the GoodYear Eagle F1's awesome grip in both wet and dry conditions and even in the cold, it performs well. I have so far about 17000 miles on the tires and still have few thousands to go. EXCELLENT tread rating to me since i drive hard.
have no regrets with my purchase!
