I need new tires as well. I've got what I feel is the best tip from Mark Haibeck, he recommends the Nitto's as well. I'd like to go the Michelin route; I've always had good luck with them. I do agree, you get what you pay for. My problem, I have no traction, of course it is due to older Yokohama Tires. I'm in serious negotiations with HRE Wheels for a set of 18" 565R or the P45S, both killer wheels. So for now I'm on the fence post until I make that decision. I've lowered the car, it now needs a slightly bigger wheel to compliment the look. For me the biggest question that I'd like answered is Traction? What tire will give me the best traction? Again Mark suggested the Nittos's to get me there. Anyone else have thoughts on that end? I'm not concerned about wear or life of the tire, or rain (I never drive it in inclement weather); I put about 2k on the car per year.

If you are going to custom built wheels and need better traction take a look at 345/30-R19 tires for the rear. Here is a stern view of my 94 with 345/30-R19 Michelin Pilots mounted up.

Can you show me a photo from the side? I was concerned about a 19" Wheel looking too big? I understand the overall diameter does not change, the sidewall of the tire gets smaller. I am just not sure about the over all look on this model. I'm all for look, my '04 M3 has the upgraded HRE 19's and the look is awesome. What size fronts do you run?

Here is a shot of the side view. I'm running 285/35-R18 Pilots on the front.

Phil that setup looks great, nice!

I just bought a set of Nitto 555 tires last month; I'm very happy with them. Great tire for the money, I paid around 800 and change thru discount tire, including mount/balance.

My local Discount Tire store found 6 pairs of DS G3 315s in a San Jose, Ca warehouse and I bought a pair. If I couldn't find the Goodyear's, I was leaning toward the VREDSTEIN'S. I have heard nothing but good reports on these tires.

That is one sweet lookin set up. Does the VADOT ask you to help in paveing the roads with those steamrollers? Any other mods we should know about yet?
