I'll go first

As i've just upgraded my tyres, i've been running shitty 205/50/17 Runflats that are hard & crash, not good (bad idea by BMW)

I decided on some Goodyear Eagle F1 XL 225/45/17, 20mm wider per tyre for extra traction & grip through corners, they are a massive improvement over my old tyres, they are obviously softer than the RFTs with there reinforced walls, almost all the crashness has gone the grip & handling is awesome & they still need scrubbing in proper then they'll be epic.

Heres some pics & check out the over hand from that 20mm extra rubber plus the lip that will help protection my wheels to :D
(If your in to stretch tyres you ent guna like the look of mine <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> )

I've got BF Goodrich G-Grips on 205 50 16's on my R 182 Cup Pack rims. There made by Michelin so all good, Never lost grip in the wet at high cornering speeds and super sticky when the sun does come out.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s - 195/45 R15. Set has been on the car for nearly three years and the fronts are just coming up for replacement. Rears still have plenty of tread on them. Superb grip in the wet and dry and I love the tread pattern.
