Haven't tried them. Have Michelin Pilot Sports on at the moment. Too much road noise on those. On my 740iL I have Toyo Proxies and those seem to stick quite well, but are still nice and quiet on the road.

Hey CSHIFLETT, what type of spoiler you have? Got a back pic?

Tires...love Michellins Pilot Sports but too pricey... haven't used F1 b4.

It's an AC Schnitzer full body kit on it.

I've recently had Falken's fitted all round, they're very good, sensibly priced & made by dunlop (I've had both Toyo's and F1's in the past).

I have Goodyear Eagle F1's on my 840 and previously had them on my 740. I like them alot... a real lot as-a-matter-of-fact... just my opinion of course.

I now have DUNLOP SPORT MAXX on the rear and for the little driving I have managed to do I like them.

And best of all they have DUNLOP SPORT MAXX in the rubber, I dont suppose it will last for long tho.

18" Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S. I've never been happier: they grip like velcro in the rain and in the roasting sun. And, get this, they are super quiet!

The original owner had it put on the car back when it was new, from what I understand. I don't have the paperwork on the kit, but as Koi mention, I don't think you can get it anymore as a full kit. I've seen pieces on some old web sites, but I haven't ever checked to see if you can still get the parts.

I have F1's on my 840. Love them in the rain but they are starting to tell me that they don't like cold dry pavement.

I tried making a 270 degree left turn at a stop sign last week:(. A little too much throttle and it kept on turning after I started telling it that it was time to straighten out. But what is a little tire smoke among friends? Traction control was on BTW.

KUHMO ECSTA ASX: 30,000 miles out of the first set. All Season Tires, less than $600 for the set (245/45-17 F & 285/35-17 R). Almost no road noise - greatest bang for the buck
