I would be keen on the Bridgestone RE050s - I liked them on the old GT-B. Alas, they do not do a 245/40/17. PS2s - $720 for a tyre, I think not. I do realise it is quite a different size from what I am looking for - however I anticipate that they would still be hideously expensive. Sounds like PS3s are the best candidate so far given that no-one is raving about the RE002s.

Ok, just so there is no confusion - I would be going for 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 on the rear.

I am driving a 1993 E36 325i. About a year ago I bought a set of mags for it - Style 68, staggered - which came with a set of Dunlop Direzzas at the time (225 up front, 235 at the rear - seems an odd match). Never liked the tyres that much TBQFH, and so it is about time to change them out for some new ones. They are getting pretty bald at the rear, which does make for a few laughs on wet days I suppose... still, they just do not feel right. I have had a look around and it seems that people are raving about Michelins Pilot Sports - typically without specifying whether they are taking about Pilot Sport 2s, Pilot Sport 3s or Pilot Super Sports. I have Pilot Sport 3s on my 2003 Legacy GT and they seem pretty decent. I had Bridgestone RE050s on my old 1998 GT-B and they seemed pretty good too. In any case I would appreciate if anyone had experiences with running 225/245 staggered setup on a non-M3 E36 and could recommend some rubber. I am not locked in on neither the Michelins or Bridgestones - just had reasonably good experiences with them in the past. That said, they are not the cheapest of tyres and I do not mind saving where I can, so long as the compromise isn't bad.

PM sent.

I'd be quite keen on the wheels. Tyres not so much, in particular since they would add to the freight cost. Would you be at all interested in selling the wheels without the tyres?
