    I'll throw in my two cents.
    I love my Bridgestone RE760's. Tread rating is higher than a lot of other summer tires.

    RE760

    I plan on buying another set when these wear out.

    I'll throw another vote in for the Yoko S Drives... I seem to be the only one on here that likes them, but I think you'd here ally impressed. The biggest thing with them is the rubber compound is consistent for the life of the tires. Unlike Kumhos and Bridgestones, these tires won't lose their grip once the life is 50% or less.

    Just a thought. V12 and these are similar in price, both much less than the PSS.

    I'm a fan of the PSS. I think the Continental DW will be a good replacement for them if you are looking for a tire that last longer.

    I just went through a pair of 760's... I got 40k out of them... For the most part I liked them. Wet traction was surprisingly strong. Dry traction was good. They were pretty quiet, too. The only drawback for me was when they began reaching the end of their life, they started feeling 'greasy' for lack of a better term...

    Ended up going with 2 Continental ExtremeContact DW in OE size, 255/45/18. Figured Id leave room in case I lower it

    Hankook V12's are solid, as well as Bridgestone RE-760.

    I ran them both on the E32 and on the old E39. I like them a lot.

    The old old E39 had some sort of Sumitomo summer tires that was pretty good as well. HTRZ III? or something like that..

    Summer tire with good tread wear

    I'm thinking of buying a set of Sumitomo HTR Z II for the 17" staggered M-Contours only because I can burn through 4 sets before it costs as much as 1 set of 18" PSS' on the ZHP

    If you don't mind a slightly expensive tire, Pilot Supersports. I got just over 16k on the rears w/ the M3... and that's about twice what I usually get. My fronts barely look worn (still had 7/32" last I checked). The performance is simply awesome too.
