Sooo forever I have basically driven any fun car on drag radials and didnt give a crap about what tires were on the front. I need new tires for my M5 and dont know anything about street tires. Here is the thing though if I cant hit it from a roll in first gear without blazing them im going to hate them. So whats out there for a decent price that I can beat on? I dont care much about how fast they wear out. 19" M5 sizes I dont even know exact i would have to go look. Thanks! ---

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Falken Azenis RT615 Hankook Ventus RS-2 Or, if you want them to last a little longer: Kumho Ecsta SPT First three are 200 treadwear, the last one is a 300. I’ve ran the SPT’s last summer on my GTO and the RS-2’s the summer before. The RS-2 had more grip but in one summer I rotated them front to back and wore out all 4. One track day, a couple autocrosses and street driving. From a 5mph roll I could hammer it in first and they would barely spin. The SPT’s on the other hand only wore out 2 in a summer. A few autocrosses, no track days, more street driving. From a 5mph roll they will spin a bit through first but hook fine in 2nd. I’ll be picking up another pair before spring but I’m going to go to a 275 instead of a 245 and roll the fenders a bit if I have to. ---

you might have to go with something more aggressive than azenis or star specs for the grip you want, maybe re050 or neovas? ---

I am not too concerned with how long they last but the car will be driven in the rain sometimes. However like I said I have been on dr’s for years so I am sure I can handle it. So here are the tire sizes 245-35-19 and 275-30-19. Let me know what you come up with. ---

Thanks guys I appreciate the tips since especially with the cheaper tires some can be a good deal and some are junk. I am busy now but after work I will see which ones are available in the sizes I need and go from there.
