2006 C230, 2006 BMW M3, bye bye C55:(
Just had a new set put on the other day. LOVE THEM! It rained hard that same day and I was able to maintian 70mph comfortably.
Quiet, great handling and response and have been upgraded in the past 3 months to a better compound rubber.
Go for it, you wont regret it

i have them...cold days they are hard as hell. still tracks well, but harsh. tire soften up above 70 deg temp. cheap tires for the performance can't beat it. another alternative would be the HTRZIII.

I bought the car with Toyo Proxes at about 80%, I liked the grip but they were extremely noisy.
I Wore those down and bought Federal Performance tires (forgot the series number), They were great for the first 5k miles, Then bubbles started developing on the inner side wall.
Got those two replaced and had the issue again.
I sold the two good ones to a buddy, So He could rip into them on the track, that's when I decided to buy the Hankooks.
If I upgrade to an 18" wheel this summer, I will not hesitate a bit to buy another set Hankook Evos.

Got mine today (haven't installed yet) but if you guys are considering them there is a 60.00 MIR on them from TireRack now through June I believe so if you're thinking about buying them - now's the time!
