Tires for my new v701

strati1 · 02-10-2011, 01:14 AM

Hey Guys,
Just decided on and ordered my Super Silver v701 19x8.5 19x9.5 staggered wheel set up for my 2008 128i Sport Package from SDmotorsports in San Diego. After talking to VMR and finding out the v701 in the 18in size with 1er offsets is not available and the launch of the wheel cant be estimated exactly, i decided to go with the 19s. Originally I wanted to go with the PS2 but now with 19s the tread wear seems to make the cost even more outrageous. Here are the options I am considering

size 225/30/19 255/30/19

hankook v12

Advan Neova ad08

Continental DW

Open to any and all suggestions

thanks

225 and 245 instead of the 255.

noted, especially with coils in the works. after the install we should do a shoot

With how wide the AD08's run, I would recommend a 225 front and a 245 rear. This will be flush on all 4 corners. With coilovers, depending on how you plan on going, some fender rolling may be required.

225 245 sounds good to me. Question for charles, are the advans super loud? That's what I've heard

dicker · 02-10-2011, 02:17 PM

Yokohama sDrives are another decent choice.

strati1 · 02-10-2011, 02:47 PM

Anyone with experience with the continentals? Or the v12s?

I had the V12' on another car, grip is so so, but they're VERY quiet and comfortable. Great tire for someone who doesn't drive their car hard. The yoko sDrive is similarly priced but sticks better than the V12, tradeoff is that they're louder.

Nitto is my favorite tire brand because of comfort and performance.

Nitto Invo and Nitto NT-555 are both great tires but they do have a thick side wall which will cause some rubbing.

My second choice would be the Hankook Ventus V12. I hear they compete with the Michelin PS2.

Falkens have the best stretch overall.

AD08's are pretty quite through most of their life until they get close to the wear bars.

Are u serious?? The AD08's are supposed to be loud as hell..

Id go with PS2's or the Conti's, the conti's run a slimmer treadwidth so with those wheels ud want 235F/265R. VERY comfy tires but a little less grip and handling than the PS2's, etc.

loudness of ad08? anyone have input?
