tires
Interesting thread on tires here. I agree that this subject is very personal. Almost as diverse as cars themselves. EVeryone has an opinion and there are always mixed reviews on the exact same product. As for the tirerack reviews. When I look at them, I filter them to my own preference. Example, someone with say a Ford Taurus telling me that a Particular Michelin tire is the BEST tire out there, and that he/she is a very spirited driver - doesn't hold much water compared to say a Lotus Elise owner saying the same thing. I think you all understand what I mean. It's so relative. When people say it's the 'best'. Well, yes, maybe the best they've ever had. But....
Personally, I've gone through dozens, and dozens of tires. Currently running Michelin Pilot Sports on my 328i. Quite happy with them. Also have a set of Dunlop Sport M3 'winters' - since I do live up in Canada. Happy with that set as well. I do track and autox my car regularly and am currently considering a dedicated set of 'track' wheels.
bottom line - each person has their own choice/reason for what and why they buy a particular model/brand. Problem is....tires aren't cheap!! But so important.
