I was wondering what type of tires you guys think I should run on my M3. It's my daily driver but sees occasional track/autocross time. Right now I have the stock wheels and am running Bridgestone S-03s and they seem pretty good. Thanks

A lot of people like the wheels that are on srt's forgot the name, or toyo proxies and nitto 555's are popular

One last thing, should I stick with the stock tire size (205-55)?

I personally like 225/50s on stock wheels.

WildM3r the tires your thinking of are BFG's kdw's 99% sure. I also thought Michelen pilots or s03's were the best. I personall have never driven either on a m3, but neighbors m5 has s03's and feel great, but they still break lose easy, but what wouldnt with 400 horse and heavy foot??? :buttrock

I ended up buying BFGoodrich G-Force Sports. I know they don't have the grip of the S-03s I'm replacing, but I couldn't quite afford them. The BFGoodrichs are half the price. We'll see how well they compare, I'm going to a track day on Saturday.

Yeah, the s03s are damn expensive.
