About to buy tires for my e92. Set of 225/40/18 and 255/35/18

Need to know what you guys think..
Never had either but I\'ve heard good about both. The yokohama s. drives or the hankook Evo v12.. Both sets I got to 630 shipped.
So talk people got till 5 pm lol

Either choice is pretty good. I bought a set of Hankooks at the beginning of the year and they are great for the money. They're quiet, offer good performance, and are relatively inexpensive. My only gripe with them is that the sidewall is quite soft. I know a lot of my customers have gone with them and they seem to like them as well.

Hey thanks for the reply, the only one lol.. I ended up not getting anything, going into storage for the winter... Gonna rack up mods and stuff during the winter, I decided I'm gonna go with Bridgestone Potenza RE 11! I think those will be fun!

Wow what a step up! RE-11s are awesome, and you will love beating on them!

Seriously they're practically a street driven race tire.

I guess you are an hour ahead. It's only 4:46 here on the east coast.

At any rate, I am quite surprised at your decision given the initial choices. Not complaining, just confused. However, you must base your decision on what you want to do with your ride.

For me, I bought Hankooks because I could purchase two sets of Hankooks for the price of one set of Bridgestones.

Don't get me wrong. I love the B-Stones, but the compound is very soft and they will not last as long as the Hankooks. With that said, the B-Stones will provide the ultimate grip in summer...but you will leave a lot of it on the asphalt. If your plan is to track your ride, then they are perfect!

I like cheap thrills on my daily driver. As far as sidewall softness, I just add 6psi front and back to firm up the ride. LOL!!!

Well right now I need some tires now because they're getting a little tired.. So I was gonna get some cheaper tires until next season, and I get what your saying it's a drastic jump lol.. But since I got the hummer I won't really need to change the tires right now... So it would have been just a waste of money.. But thank you for your opinion on the tires I'll pass it on to my little brother his M3s tires are toasted, well they go bald every 3 months lmao

Nice choice. I've had the RE-050A and they were even pretty nice themselves.
