Shogun who makes the best tire for the bimmer

[Kibokojoe]

Right now I am running Michelin Pilot XGT H4 225/60R15, but the front tires are wornout from bad frontend parts. I have replaced all of the front end and now am looking for new tires.

I am a cheapo when it comes to tires nowadays :)
I had expensive Pirelli P6000 several times, good, but wear down quick, price very high
Bridgestone Regno 55 225/60R15 I have on one E32 750, good quality, lasts longer than the Pirelli, price lower than Pirelli.
Now I bought NEXEN made in Korea for $ 54 a piece online in Japan, have read reports about them, cheap, long lasting, reasonable feeling.
Here we have a speed limit on the Highway of 100 kmh= approx 65 MPH, I have never snow in the area where I live. Perfect.

I am surprised you go for anything cheap on your bimmer

[shogun]

Well, I had some friends from our E32 Club first make long test trials as guinea pigs, so no risk on my side, they were all happy with the tires :)

I also bought cheap HID replacements for my H1 Hella headlights from China, after many of my friends installed them and were happy with them.
I bought them in May this year and they work perfect, very cheap and they are very reliable.
Here how to install them, I bought some for my friends too

Lots of foam on the inside of the hood and the trunk... Must be a really quiet ride !
