    RE01Rs have a pretty good ride for the grip they provide.

    i had ziex, but now im riding on bfgoodrich. way better than ziex. Traction AA, temp A, treadwear 340, z rated, and cost less than my previous ziex. O yeah, they are really quiet compared to OEM continentals and my previous ziex. They grip really good.

    35% tints, clear oem corners, E.C.I.S intake, Sport Package, DIY black out kidney grills, Black & White BMW badge, m50 manifold swap. depo headlights with angel lights and 5k HID.

    I liked the Bridgestone RE750 on my 3 Series. I have tested a lot of tires on 3 Series cars and the RE750 offers one of the best ride qualities with good mileage and the price is pretty good as well. I sold the car with about 20K on the tires and they still looked new.
