I wouldn't recommend it.

You really think you'll see those speeds out of
a 325i?   Yow....

Yes, the tire is being discontinued -- that tire
model has been around for more than 10 years and
way back then, they were near the top of the heap
for performance street tires.  At the price they
are going for now, you won't find a better
performance tire to burn up on the track.
