The problem is that this is becoming a difficult size to find and selection is very limited. I do want to stay with the stock size because the slightly tall tire matches up well with the overall suspension and handling on my car, which is an old E30 BMW 325i.
However, I would like to find a tire that is performance oriented in a balanced way. I am NOT looking for an extreme performance tire, but would like something that has a traction oriented design combined with good wear, noise and ride qualities.
BFG makes the Traction TA and the Touring TA - I have had the Touring TA and didn't particularly like them. I tend to prefer to stick with the premium names as the experiences I've had with "bargain" tires is that they are mediocre even when they get good reviews. I would however consider a re-branded or store brand tire.
With that I'll throw it open. Any ideas?
