Lightbulb New rears, recommendation (price/quality)
I know.... Approximately 1 million tire threads already but this one is a bit different. I am exchanging my rears and aiming for 275/30/R19. As I am living in Europe the below brands are my options. What tire would you take if it was your car and your wallet?

Goodyear EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 275/30R19 96 Y XL
250 USD
Toyo Proxes T1-R 275/30R19 96 Y ZR
275 USD
Hankook K110 275/30R19 96 Y XL ZR
275 USD
Hankook K107 275/30R19 96 ZR XL
275 USD
Dunlop SP Sport MAXX 275/30R19 96 Y XL
295 USD
Pirelli PZero Nero 275/30R19 ZR XL
315 USD
Bridgestone Potenza S001 275/30R19 96 Y XL
340 USD
Continental ContiSportContact 3 275/30R19 96 ZR XL
340 USD
Continental ContiSportContact 5P 275/30R19 ZR XL, REAR
350 USD
Michelin PILOT SPORT 2 275/30R19 96 Y XL
375 USD
Yokohama ADVAN Sport V103 275/30R19 96 Y XL, ZR
400 USD

Price per one tire.

I am driving in mixed weather which varies from sunny 90 degrees F to 50 degrees rain. I am running a K2 package so traction is not surprisingly very important.

Recommendations much appreciated.

Ken

Go to Tirerack.com and read surveys/reviews.

I got the T1-R's because they were a) relatively cheap b) very strong performers and c) came with a 30000 mile warranty from discount tire - cant beat that!

heard from some owner claim that YOKO ADVAN can have short life and the road noise is also a concern.

love to try the Dunlop one.

In Japan Advan Sport comes from stock and I love it!! Road noise is no problem.

For my first set I ran 10,000km so I dont think its bad. Plus you get really high grip! and in wet is great also.

Next set Im thinking like Advan Neova or Micheline cup tire.

I went with the Toyos because I had them on my old M3 and was pleased. Plus I felt they offered a lot for the price.

Forget about the Goodyear Eagle F1s. I bought them this spring and drove about 8'000kms and they're dead. They also have almost no grip at higher speeds

Either Michelin PS2 or Nitto INVO... Out of the 2 the PS2 is a better tire overall but you cant go wrong with NITTO either.

NITTO NT05, DUNLOP DIREZZA STAR SPEC OR HANKOOK EVO V12 K110. THREE OF THE BEST TIRES OUT THERE. Dont spend the extra money on the michellins or yokohama advans. I would go for the the three tires i listed above, especially the Dunlop Star Spec.
