These are what I went with (the DW model) on my 335i in 235/265-18. I like the better ride characteristics and haven't noticed any real difference in cornering power or traction from the 225/255-18 Eagle F1 Assymetrics. But like you said, the 340 wear rating is great, and they have a more forgiving ride for those long trips. The OP got a great deal on his Michelins, though! If the 225/255 on my wife's 128i Convertible ever wear out, I may put some of the PS2s on her car.
