Best Tires for E92 M3 ?
Hey all. I'm ready for my second set of tires on my E92 ( 19 inch wheels ). The Michelin Pilot Sports were excellent, but I'm wondering if there is something that will work even better. I remember putting Pirelli PZeros on my E46 and they were great. Any opinions????

I note that the E92 M3 GTS runs w/ Conti tires. Read some good reviews.

Pilot Super Sports
I had the 2 sets of RE-11's, and am now on PSS's. Better than the RE-11's on the road, and on the track - the track was a big surprise for me!

The PSS is my choice for a great all around tire..
I had the Pzeros they are quite noisy, wear too quickly, and are super expensive. Not worth it IMO If you dont care too much about wet handling the Yokohama Advan Nevoa 08 are supposed to have exceptional dry handling (not great in the wet) |

Been running Hankook R-S3 for over 2 years. Competitors have yet to come out with a faster street tire.
The Dunlop Star Spec's replacement has just been announed and will be available next year. Curious to see how that one does! |

PSS for street use.
RS3 or AD08 for street-track use. These tires give up some wet performance compared to the PSS but are significantly better than any R-comp (with "tread" patterns; e.g., PSC, R888, NT01) in the wet. |
