Summer tires

bimmermann88 · 04-10-2019, 12:46 PM

I'm looking for some information on a set of summer tires for my 35imsport because I'm currently on my winter set! Does anyone have any suggestions on what to go with? They are 19" tires and I'm leaning towards the Pirelli's.

Everyone is going to have a different opinion. You can either sit back and see all the different answers or go to tirerack.com, they will show you the different options in your size and you can then see ratings and read customer reviews.

Good luck.

Are you looking for a max performance summer tire since you have dedicated snow setup? I would take a look at Michelin super sports, there comfortable, quiet, wear pretty good for a performance tire, and excellent handling even in the wet. Just have to see if they offer your size in 19” which I believe is 255/50.

Just checked no Michelin super sports in 255/50/19, I would visit tire rack like someone else mentioned or call them up and they will help out or I’m sure there will be a bunch of people chiming in with hat they run , good luck

I'm going to offer an opinion from the other side. I never spend lots of money on tires. I find that the difference between a $90 tire and a $250 tire is rarely worth the nearly 300% premium. You typically will get 90% of the performance for 1/3 the cost. To me, that's worth saving the money.

For example, the last set of tires on I put on my 335 were $190 shipped for 4 tires. Milestar something. ZERO complaints for that money. I just ordered Achilles Desert Hawk UHPs for the X5. 315/35/20s and 275/40/20s and all four were around $400 shipped. I'll let you know how it goes!

I used to run Bridgestone Deuler HP’s on my E70 as summer tires. They handled really well but the tread pattern produced a very slight vibration at 45 mph. I switched to Pirelli Scorpion Zero’s with the last set I put on that truck and didn’t like the performance as much as the Bridgestone’s. The Pirelli’s complained a bit during hard cornering, but if you don’t drive too aggressively the Pirelli is a good choice. These were 255/50R19’s.

Thanks for all your opinions it's a huge help! Also I'm a aggressive driver so I will do a little more research into the Bridgestones
