Why pay $1600 for a set of Michelin PS2s that will wear out in 10,000 miles when I can buy the Kumhos for half the price and get at least twice the miles. Then I can spend that money I saved on R compound tires for my 18"s. After putting some miles on the tires they are sticking just as good as my OEM PS2s did. I don't see people pissing on the Nitto Invo tires, and they are no better than these SPTs.

As for the tires. I had them on my E36. They're long lasting and are above average in the rain. On the downside, and really what was most important to me, dry traction was poor and the sidewalls were very weak.
I went back to tirerack and realized that the tires I had were actually Ecsta Supras. I have nothing against Kumho, I've actually heard really good things about the Kumho MXs.

Yeah the Supras are a little different, haha. I really like the MX as well along with the new XS, but they just didn't have the sizes I wanted since they basically have no 19" sizes.

I wouldn't do the Mag Blue wheels on a Blue M3, but I know my buddy Irb Digital likes those and would probably put them on his Jerez Black.
