Tire shop in NoVa
Have a set of gloss black powder coated rims. Need to get tires, any ideas on a shop that could mount etc, without damaging the finish and give decent price on tires?

E-mail Mike at Currys Auto. Currys sells tires for $10 over cost, cheaper than tire rack, and has BMW certified techs. They also have a Dulles location

They've been getting so much business from selling tires for almost no profit that I think they're keeping the deal going.

glad this thread popped up
i'm going to need to get new tires soon...i can't believe how fast M5 tires, especially rears wear out. I hear Michelin PS2s are a good all around street tire, especially for the M5 and has decent longevity w/ wear and tear, especially for the M5. Can anyone confirm this or provide input? So far i've been running stock Contis which I always get from the dealer. Aside from the fact they wear out, i've noticed in cold weather, they tend to be very hard until warmed up. This is very noticeable in traction and grip, and it's as if my tires are nothing but very hard rubber w/ no treads.

Michelin website says the longevity is a little longer on the Super Sport. How do they handle in colder temps?

They are a couple of hundred cheaper and have a longer warranty than the PS2 which was my motivation.

This is the primary reason, but just like PS2s they are a summer tire.

my mistake, it seems the PS2s are the more expensive ones. But it seems the Super Sports are not available for the e60 M5, according to the Michelin website.
And after reading this (which i found on m5board), I might stick w/ Contis since the review said it outperformed PS2s *shocking* and it's cheaper too...lol http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires...y_f1_gs_ds.pdf yeah, I imagine either one will feel like driving on concrete shoes in the sub-40 temps until warmed up.

Goodyear F1s were on closeout at Tirerack for 50% off. Not sure if it's still good but I got all 4 corners a few weeks ago and am incredibly happy.
