Talking Need some new rubber for the 1er.

Like the title says, I'm planning on ditching the RFTs and getting some new rubber. Any tips/comments are welcome.

I'm considering a set of Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08's Or the Yokohama ADVAN Sport's. Any members currently running on these?

Should I consider any other tires?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about the Yokos, but I just ordered the Hankook Ventus V12s for my stock wheels based on cost/performance/feedback (225/40 and 255/35).

I would consider the Dunlop Direzza Z1 Sport Star Spec. I just got them and they are amazing.

I also switched out my RFTs last month and with 500 miles on my new Hankook Ventus Evo V12 225/40 & 255/35's my ride is much smoother and the grip is great. A great deal too from Gil at TireRack. I am very happy so far, no regrets.

I have just put a set of Hankook v12's on my car.

I haven't driven on that many different tyres so I don't have the greatest experience but the Hankooks are fantastic. Lots more grip than the runflats and a smoother ride. Also, the steering feels a little lighter.

It has also just rained today and the wet traction is awesome.

Would definitely recommend these

Thanks for all the input! After a lot of searching I've decided to go with the Hankook v12's
