All of those choices are insane. Kumho MX, more grip, less cost.

not available in the size(s) I need, & not rated all that well on tirerack either...& the nearest size fit for a set is $796, so the price is not less

I'll take the solo2 national street tire championships ahead of tirerack reviews =)

I would sooner run a kumho MX in a slightly diff size than anythign else still.

Bridgestone SO-3 for summer...Dunlop for winter...I work at Wheel Works so I know everything there is to know about eery tire ever made!! < :confused ....
That's just my recommendations of course :D

Which Dunlop winter tires do you recommend?

I voted for P Zero Nero (presumably the M+S rated in size 245/40-17 for E36 M3?). For an all-around-use, ultra-high-performance tire, with light-snow capability--that's smooth, quiet comfortable, sticky, and affordable--this is your choice. P-Zero Nero is also lightweight (24 lbs for 245/40-17). This is significant, since the M Double Spoke II stock rears weigh 23.3-23.4 lbs each. A tire weight of 27 lbs could yield a 50-lb wheel/tire combo! I've read everything on these tires, I can find, but I didn't see a recent poll here- so here it is...

no...note the other poll choices
summer tires only, not all-season :)



narrowing the choices, now between the so-3, f1, & nero I'm thinking :)

ty keep responses coming

Your poll title didn't clarify what type of tire. If summer tires only, then Mich PS2s. S03s are too heavy. no...note the other poll choices

it seemed implied to me, in that I listed 4 summer max performance tires...

SO-3s are a little on the heavy side, but they more than make up for it in dry handling ability. IMHO, the So-3s are the best dry handling street tire that readily available today.

No love for the Toyo's?

Exactly.

I sell Toyos on a 2/1 basis over any other tire in my shop, as the quality and performance is very good relative to tires that are much more expensive.

With regard to dry weather performance, we need not rely on opinions or reputation, since we have race results aplenty:

Those two tires that are dominating are the Kumho MX and Falken Azenis. The Falken is a bit sketchy as a real life street tire (very loud, not great at hydroplane resistance), but the Kumho is perfectly serviceable.
