Tire Advice for Fiances BMW

I need to get new tires for my Fiance's 128 rather soon.

I'm going to go to go-flats.

Currently, I'm trying to decide between Conti ExtremeContact DW's and Bridestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position's.

Performance and relative durability is most important. What does everyone recommend between these tires or others?


It's important to note the options are more limited in this tire size. Really wish I could put a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on.

I would recommend taking a look at the GT Radial Champiro HPYs or UHP1s. The UHP1s will be released later this month. Both are excellent, durable ultra high performance tires.

Here is a link to the site for Champiro HPYs:
