I currentyl have a 328i with stock bottlecaps. im am upgrading to CSL's so i want tires that are 235/40/18. Having never bought tires or not really knowing to much about them i need some help. I use my car as a daily driver in the messed up streets of new jersey. I want to get a set off tire rack for 600 or less. I would appreciate some suggestions on which ones are best.
thanks in advance

If you are just doing street tires....then I have used Fusions. They are cheap and have good wear. Not the most aggressive tire but a good year round overall tire.

Are you going to run snow tires for the winter or do these tires need to be all season? Let me know and I can make a better recomendation.

If you are an aggresive driver they would be excellent. If not they are probably overkill. They are going to wear faster than some of the other tires out there but they are very sticky.
If I can help let me know.

There are a lot better tires than the Pirelli on the market. In our testing of the tires I liked the Bridgestone RE960AS at 81.00 and for the money the Yoko AVID H4S at 57.00 per tire.
If I can help let me know.
