RE: Request for Tire advice - <E30>

        Dan, I've been very happy with Yoko AVS Intermediates over the last
15K miles (still over 1/2 thread left). They are about the best street 
performance tire you can buy in our size. I got them at Discount Tire (they 
match TireRack prices - why bother with shipping?) at about $90/tire. 
Pirelli P6000 were my second choice.
        Your choice in tires will ultimately be limited by how much you are
willing to spend. AVSi's (reportedly) last around 30K very fun, enjoyable 
grippy miles. 
     
have fun,
alex

     Alex,
        I sure have to agree with you about the AVS Intermediates.  I 
     replaced the Michelin MXV4's on my '87 325iS with the Yokohamas and 
     have been very happy with my choice.  While I can't say much about how 
     they compare to other performance tires as far as ultimate grip in the 
     wet and dry, I'm sure pleased with the performance of them.  Add to 
     that a smooth quiet ride and I feel that you have an all around tire 
     that *most* drivers would be pleased with (at least those that don't 
     have to drive in the snow and ice).
