    Doing a tire surrvey

    Who has what?
    And which would you prefer for 3 season tires?

    I have some Kumho Escta 712 in 225x50x15 rears and 215x50x15 fronts but have been thinking about going to Toyo Proxies T1S.

    I have Toyo Prozes FZ4 - 205/45/R16 (not 3 season). They came with my used rims and I don't like them :roll: .

      I have 235/40ZR17's on the M3, I LOVE them. Their wet traction is only bested by their dry traction.

      Sorry my bad, those would be Bridgestone SO-3's

        I've got Nitto's

        Back in March, I bought Nitto NT 460 P205/60R-14s.
        I haven't yet had them out in snow and ice.. but they've been great.
        The price was DEFINITELY cool :-D

            I just got new tires put on last Friday. Yokohoma AVS ES100 in 225/50-15.
            My first impression was a huge increase in response from the Firestone snows that were on the car. The tread pattern is awesome looking, they are cheap as hell (I paid $74/tire), and they perform very well. Obviously I haven't had them long enough to give a good review, but so far they have been awesome. Wet traction is great, too.

                T1S is hands down best street tire ever.

                  looks like I have the widest so far...
                  245/35/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's.
                  Plain AWESOME. Better ratings than SO3's and they are LASTING! I have 4k miles on them, and still have 10/32nd's of tread left! that means I will get around 25k out of them, and I push them every chance I get.

                        I'm a big fan of the Yokohama Parada Spec II.

                        Dry accel and braking is mint
                        Cornering and response is gem mint
                        Wet braking is near mint
                        Wet accel is good

                        The SO 3s are a great tire, but they wear out waaaayyyy too fast, according to my dad, but being on an S55 AMG, that could have something to do with it.

                        I know that the Dunlop FM901 are ridiculously sticky as well, but wear is shitty too. One of my buddies put them on his 328Ci, and didn't even get 5000 mile sout of them, so he's trying to get some type of refund/credit from tirerack (who's building in indiana is Monstruous)

                          I have toyo Proxes T1S

                          215/40-17 front and
                          245/35-17 rear

                          I really like them, it´s just the suspension that needs work,
                          drag raced with the 245´s 13,27sec@104mph is my record but it was not in a competition so I don´t quote it
                          :)
