PM me, we are out of the 245/45/17 R6 at the moment!
Guys,
I have a lot of people asking about DE/Track Day tires for e36 M3's and I always answer with the same response, 225/45/17 Continental slicks. A lot of people ask "Why? Shouldn't I use 245/40/17 R6's?" No!!!!!!!!!
Here's the deal...
In reality, the 225/45/17 Continental slick measures the same as a 235/40/17 DOT tire in terms of section width and diameter. Also, the tire is insanely consistent over long runs and does not overheat as easily as the R6 and despite what the internet tells you, it is NOT the same compound as the R6. Also, unless you are club racing and are searching for the last couple tenths, you DO NOT need a 245 tire. I know that is what everyone runs but I can guarantee you will be able to run with and run down guys on 245 R6 and R1's all day because the tire will not fall off like a DOT tire and the peak grip is there all the time. I run them and I swear by them. They are the best scrubs you can buy for your M3.
Please, PM me with questions if you have them guys!

Here is a comparison with a 245/40/17 H-Wet....225/45/17 Conti on the right and 245/45/17 H-Wet on the left.
Above is the typical quality of tire we get, usually one heat cycle with 75% or better tread left.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you,

We currently have a good inventory of 225/45/17 Continental Challenge slicks. They are great DE tires for e30 and e36 cars. Also good on e46 non-M cars. They measure about as wide as a 235-245 DOT tire and last longer, are much less expensive, and keep peak grip longer than r6's.
PM me for a quote!

Update!

Do you have any BFGR-1 singles in 245/40/17?
