thanks for the heads up, I feel safe with these expensive *** michelin, but I think these were overkill as this is not a coupe... which tires are you running???

I would have liked to have done Michelins but at the time they didn't have the 295 size. I have a set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires.

do you like those tires??? i think the michelins are nice soft ride good but for the price unless tire rack have them for cheap i think i can do better even though they have the 255 30 22/ 295 25 22 combo which seems perfect. might just all season next.

They're ok, they have some noise, which I guess it to be expected. Michelins next time. They grip pretty well.

i agreed but these came with the wheels i got as well as i really dont think these are needed for 460 better suited for a m6 or performance driven but these are nice summer tires. definitely not going with these on the next set unless tire rack have them on sale like i got the fronts.

After the vibrations I have had with my contis and my Pirellis I am going to stick with Michelin only for now on. even when I had my GS and G35 the only tires that balanced up perfectly the first time and gave great wear were the Michelins. In the end the cheaper tires run about 1600. The Michelins will run about 2k but for the extra 21% you make sure you are getting the best tire. As long as the car is not dropped I would say spend the extra money. I dont think I would drop 2k on tires that would last 8-10k.
