Tire options that aren't PS4S

[zzyzx85]

I am really thinking of ordering the Generals next for the M3, since i dont drive it much any more. Loved the first set i had in 2007ish LOL.

Right now I am on Conti ECS and they are great tires.

I'm thinking the exact same haha.

I'm also currently on the Conti ECS (since late 2019) and they're getting a bit worn. From what I've read here and other places, I think I'll be giving the Generals a try next.

I previously had Firehawk Indy 500. They were good in the dry but a bit sketch in the wet. I needed a tire with good wet traction so I went with the Conti ECS after the Firehawks

My go to for regular street driving has always been Falken. They have a lot of different street tire options whether you’re looking for spirited drives in the canyons to eco friendly tread patterns.

If it's not a DD, I like Kumho Ecsta V720's

Have you thought about picking up tires when you're down here or on the way? Kind of sucks to do it on a trip but it's an option. If you need some recs for SoCal, my guys at Tire Central have taken care of me and my family for over a decade. Other quality shops are Rcompound and 714 tires

Long story short, I took my old ZCP wheels in to be refinished and had them throw out the old tires. Turns out my old wheels were trash so now I have no tires since they were thrown out. I borrowed a set of wheels from a buddy, but were a super aggressive set off his drift car and fitment wasn't great, so we're back on jack-stands. So the car has been without wheels for a month except for the single drive out of the garage to take some glamour shots with the Work Emotions.

On the bright side, my new wheels come today and I bought a set of Continental Extreme ContactSports so I'll get them fitted on Monday. They have a 60-day no-questions-asked trial, so worst comes to worst, I hate them and can return and get something different or PS4S which will hopefully be available by then.

Thanks for the help everybody!

I'm really hoping to drive the e46m3 to San Diego at the end of the month, I could rent a Corolla but the e46m3 is way more fun to drive. Also, my dad just picked up a super low mileage e92m3 in LeMans blue so I'm hoping to get some family pictures along with his daily which is an f80m3.

If it was me id wait. Also, Costco's Michelin sale is going on right now. I know some people don't like to get tires installed at Costco but Ive never had a bad experience.

100% - the last set of PS4S I bought for my e93m3 I got at Costco. Also the tires for our i3. They've always done a good job for me too. They also have a great no-questions-asked hazard warranty and free installation. Sometimes they're a bit limited on models, like for instance, I couldn't get the Michelin AS4+ in the sizes for our X5 (275s front and 315s rear) so I had to order them on tirerack.

def wait. Tires last a LOOOOONG time especially if you doing DD it, which you don't

I normally would - but tirerack says 6-8 weeks or more on backorder and can't give me an exact date. Costco, also, says 6-8 weeks and they're on nationwide backorder. Discount tire is the same way.

Since you live in Oregon and have rain to consider, I would get the Contis from those choices.

Or just get 255/40/18 PS4s which are in stock.

I found those tires to be car ruiningly bad.

My only other reference is the bald Michelin SuperSports the car came with and it drives 100x better

I like the Hankook Ventus V12's I just put on but haven't had much seat time yet

Hankook RS4s are also on backorder now. Supposedly will be restocking in the spring.

The Hankook RS4 are a great option, had the RS3 before my PS4S and I liked them, the RS4 specs are a step up from the 3
