Thinking about pulling the trigger on some Pilot SuperSports, the only thing holding me back is that theyre going on my daily driver and I feel like they may be a little overkill for what i'm using them for. My car is an 07 335i and the wheels are 18x8 and 18x9. Before this I was looking at the hankook v12 evo2 but I was told that nothing beats the SS's. Will they hold up a long time or are they just a super high performance not very long life tire?

Nitto NT555

Cheap & good

E36 M3, only use PSS.

Depends on how hard you drive it. I wore out some to decent extent in 10k miles, but if you drive civilly they should last 30-40k I assume.

I really want something that rides very smooth and has really quiet road noise but can still have a great time on the blueridge parkway twisties when it comes time.

>only use unnecessarily expensive tires to drive on
Nah

I really like BFG Rival.

If you need something even more sticky get the BFG Rival S.

BF Goodrich makes some very good tires... I like their GForce Comp-2, have used both the summer & A/S versions and like them a lot. The all season tire is actually quieter and rides better than the summer version, but I'm sure it gives up some lateral grip at the limits.

>>14660222
Based on what your needs are id say the only tire for you is the nitto nt05r

Bridgestone Potenza S04 is more than enough
Depending on the conditions you drive in you might like it more than mpss

I dd on nt555 g2 tires. Theyre super grippy, i dont have to roll out my throttle in a dd situation or risk smoking my tires or activating my tcs.

I'm afraid if I go with nitto I'm gonna get a tire with a lot of noise or a less than perfect ride while MPSS has 5 stars in both categories. Just want to have a super smooth ride with good handling.

Hi /o/, I want to get new, wider tires + rims for my Camaro, pic related. Would I be able to fit 295/50r15s on 15x10" rims in the back, width wise? They'd be the same diameter as what I've got now (215/75r14), only wider. What backspacing do I need if any?

Hey guys, I heard you were talking about nitto, I got me some meme tires, ask me anything. 245/45 nitto invos all around.

I was actually very surprised by their wet driving performance. I have had 555's all around aswell as 555's front + 555r's in the rear at one point.

How quiet are they?
>>
>>14664384
at first... surprisingly, they are still quite, but they were oddly silent <30mph. I'd say they got louder and while they are near silent at cruising speeds, they aren't the what the fuck they were when I bought them.
The car has a kinda jekel and hyde feeling where 1-4 I'm making a ton of noise due to running out the gears, but once I hit 5th It's now a quiet cabin because the tires are quiet, the motor isn't making noise etc. But the first few times holy shit was it quiet.
Also we performance was "amazing" I don't know that I can clarify that any better at this point, I have a mustang so I've started drinking.

I'm really unimpressed by PSS's and they are way too expensive, when people ask for them at my shop we normally recommend Conti Extreme Contact DWs instead

Speaking of continentals, does anyone have any experience with the DWS 06? The have good reviews on tire rack and are not terribly expensive.

5 WHOLE ARBITRARY STARS

WELL AT LEAST ITS NOT THE WEBSITE YOUR BUYING FROM TELLING YOU THIS

>>14664728

Depends on the application. They offer a pretty comfortable and reasonably grippy ride compared to a lot of budget tires, but I find they're not much better in snow than regular all seasons and the sidewalls are quite soft, so they feel a bit more wallowy in corners. I haven't noticed tramlining as an issue but I do wish I had gone with something more performance oriented, especially given that they don't really have any snow advantage.

For an all season I'd recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3. It's also not any good in snow but it is quite good the rest of the time. Not a super gripper sport tire, but I like them on my DD WRX. I do switch to snow tires once the temperature starts to stay below the 40s though.
