I saw some of you suggested the Hankook RS-2 Z212. for my car Stock )5 M3 auto x queen...Anyway if so how was the performance,wear, and wet handling?

I had a set of those on my 328 - 225/50/16. I autocrossed on them for several (5) events and were my daily tires. The tread held up well considering their treadwear rating. I still had sidewall leftover after all that and about 10K daily driving. Dry handling is great, but I found wet handling to be a different story. Sudden loss of traction and slow recovery were problems I found when pavement was wet. Keep in mind I'm talking about wet handling at the limits, not daily driving. Previously, I had the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s which were superb in the wet, but not as good as the Z212s in the dry.

Hope that helps.
