Has anyone used these or know anything about them?

They're pretty inexpensive, but I just need something like this that's at least ZR rated for now without spending a ton of money. Looking to possibly sell the car this spring anyways.

btw, it's going on a 540iA.

Thanks in advance.

You say you NEED a Z rating? I guess that means you're driving your 540 at 150mph?

Well I doubt you need "Z" rating on the tire. W rated should be perfectly fine, considering I have used W rated which technically is included in the "Z" rating category at the track.

They are made by Falken, average at best. Anything W, Y or Z rated should be fine. Remember, you get what you pay for. When you buy an extremely cheap tire, you are getting just that.

Nexen's are HORRIBLE. but if your just putting around town and you never use the car like it was ment to be then they'll be alright. Sidewall stiffness is a total joke. It's the only reason they feel smooth. Try and turn hard and your out of luck.

I'm running them on my 18" Sterns. They are fine for daily driving.
