Tire Recommendation?
I just ordered a set of HRE FF01 wheels and I am looking for your thoughts on tire brands and tire sizes. The fronts are 20x9 ET25 and the backs are 20x10.5 ET35. I live in Texas and the winters are mild compared to many of you but our temperatures can swing dramatically in a short period of time so running a separate set of summer and winter tires sounds like more hassle than I am willing to go through, at least for my first set of upgraded tires. Any recommendations on a quality set of all season 20 run flats, brand and size, would be appreciated.

What part of Texas? In San Antonio, we don't have to worry about it, and I run summer tires year round. In DFW or Amarillo, you would definitely need a tire OK in Winter conditions. Do you have a spare, or are you running runflats? Michelin makes an all season PS3+, which I run on my Mercedes, if you don't need runflats. On my M550, I will probably go with Michelin runflats, or perhaps the PS4S, if I decide to go with go flats, but I live in San Antonio, not the North part of the state. I always use standard OEM tire sizes. My $.02.

I have become a big fan of Michelin Pilot Sport run flats. I am a big proponent of run flats as they have save me and my wife a couple of times. Have had them on my 2010 BMW 535xi and have them on my 2016 Corvette Z06. When the Goodyears wear out on the 540xi I will get the A/S 3 all season version of them and will also get the same for my Z06, probably later this year. I am also a big fan of Costco, as they sell and install the Michelins at a very reasonable price with a great warranty and service. I recommend you check them out.--Bob
