Cheap-Mid Range tire recommendations for 325I?

e90-ZeRo · 02-04-2012, 06:24 PM

I've got a question for all you guys who know a thing or two about rubber shoes for our cars.

I'm soon going to be due for some new tires. I'm currently running the RFT Potenza's in my car, but being that I have the Performance Package and RFT's, the ride quality in my car in certain roads can be quite horrid (Oh god, do I have to take the 10 Freeway?!)

As a student, I do set aside money for car related maintenance stuffs and I don't drive an M3 or anything so it's not like I need Michellin PS2's but I am looking for a good, and cheaper non-RFT tire, that still has some good turn-in characteristics, while soaking up some of the road imperfections better than my current set of shoes. I'm currently looking at:

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

Also, being that i'm switching to non-RFT's, have you guys got any recommendations or suggestions for spares? Or do I just buy a cheapo RIM and put one of my RFT's on it haha. Ideally something that doesn't take too much space.

Edit: I settled for Continental Extreme Contact DWS
