I have some hankooks on my e92 and they have lasted me at least 10k miles so far. I bought my car used so I'm not sure how many miles the previous owner put on them but they are a good budget tire and street performance isn't bad at all

No, he meant MILES. I went from PS2's to Super Sports.

I used to wear out tires in 12,000 miles. With the Super Sports, after 15,000 miles they look great.

Also, the grip in comparable to Pilot Sport Cups in the dry and better than PS2's in the wet.

M cars DO have run flats and mobility kit to get you out of trouble.

I personally think the best tire out there today is the Hankook V12. I am running PS2's on my car right now and quite honestly, not worth the buck!

The hankook v12s are nothing special IMO. They work fine, but don't stand out. The PSS is the best tire there is for a daily driven M3.

Agree. Anything other than the Super Sport is like watering down your whisky. Why bother with an M3 if you water it down.
