128i Tire advice stat

I need to get new tires for my Fiance's 128 rather soon.

I'm going to go to go-flats.

Currently, I'm trying to decide between Conti ExtremeContact DW's and Bridestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position's.

Performance and relative durability is most important. What does everyone recommend between these tires or others?


It's important to note the options are more limited in this tire size. Really wish I could put a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on.

Michelin PS2 RFT is not a bad choice.

For years I go mostly with Kumo branded tires, I would get this combination, at least I will go with them in a couple of month:

Hahaha on the "Go-Flats" I see what you did there. I'd say the Ventus Evo's as well. They are nicely priced.
