Tire Recommnedations (PZero, PSS, Ventus v12)

CFM3 · 06-03-2012, 08:28 PM

Hey all,

My stock Pirelli PZeros are shot in the rear of my '11 e93. They have been good, but are apparently back ordered so I can't replace them. I am now thinking of changing all 4 to something different and selling the front PZeros. I use the car on the weekend and don't track it, so was considering the Pilot Super Sports but someone recommended the Hankook Ventus V12s. Can anyone please chime in with some recommendations/comparisons.

One tire shop also recommended the PSS in 275/30/19, but I thought it should be 35? Thanks in advance!

Pilot Super Sport are an excellent choice. They have better grip than the OE tires, and a similar level of steering response.

The Hankook is a good bang for the buck. Grip level is similar to the OE tires, but some people have complained that the sidewalls are softer, giving less responsive handling.

275/30R19 works on the rear, but would not be the usual choice. 265/35R19, 275/35R19, or 285/30R19 are the most commonly used rear 19" sizes.
