example:
265/35R18 88W "265" = Width of your tire in mm "35"= Tire aspect ratio (i.e. whatever distance 35% of 265mm is, the lower the number the lower the profile) "R" = Type of Construction (in this case it's radial) "18" = Diameter "88W" = Load and speed rating |

ordered them last monday, got 8.5 front and 9.5 rear
and 38mm off set front and rear. i was thinking 265/30 rear, and 235/35 front went to tire kingdom for those measurments and the guy told me like 1000 something in just tires , and he said id be lucky if they last 10k miles, what do you guys think? and which size of tires would be cheapest? |

Hankook V12 - 280 generals - 380 Continental ExtremeContact DWS - 540 so 10-14k for the ps2 makes sense. if u push ur bimmer alot, have a heavy foot, u're going to go through tires quicker. if ur the daily driver and want a good tire, the generals have been used by many members for years. The Extreme Contact i have yet to drive in them. I would serch on the forum for a review. The treadwear looks very good - just don't know the comfort level. The Hankook V12 are performance tires on a budget. For the price you pay u get a great tire. I live in cali - so summer tires all year round.

Lower treadwear means less not more life of the tire.
Ps2 are great tires, but if u don't want to switch em' out to often get a tire with more treadwear. Good luck man.
