The downside of these tires is that they wear out a little quicker, get a little loud as they wear and are a little more challenging to fit due to their square profile. The square profile is also an advantage...
Hmm...you're getting rubbing with your sizes. Since you're an E90 I don't recall whether you have more room to play with or less room than my E92. A rounder sidewall like the PSS though will allow more room than the squarer Advan. The Advans are definitely not rated as high on Tirerack as the PSS.
