Yoko Advan V601 experiences
Wondering if anyone here has used the Yokohama Advan V601 tires? They are classified as Max Performance Summer by TireRack and even have a 25k mile treadwear life warranty (not staggered). I'm particularly interested in the tire performance in wet/rainy conditions.
I'm driving a modified 128i (see my sig) and know enough not to do silly things in standing water, but I am curious whether these tires are safe to drive when roads aren't dry. I am OK with adjusting my driving to meet conditions, but I don't want tires that are downright dangerous if used in wet. I'm weighing whether to go with full summers or UHP all-season, Bridgestone RE980 AS+ tires instead. Tire size would be 225/45-17 all around.
I've also noted this in the F/S section, but I'm looking for one (or maybe more) BMW wheels, p/n 36116751364, a 17" x 8" wheel with high offset. They are NLA from BMW and not available on the various wheel repair/refinishing sites. The wheels obviously aren't E8x wheels, though.
