Pretty darn good on a car that weighs 3,792 lbs.

I have borrowed my friends M5 of that vintage. One heck of a road beast.

Built in radar was a good thing.

If your gastropod is on dubzzzz, anyway.

There's (1) 17" size available and it's a relatively narrow 225.  A handful of 18" sizes and then a bazillion 19-20-21-22-24" sizes.  wtf?

On tire rack the 17 isn't even available, it's only 18" and up.

Yeah, that - I was looking at the vredstein website initially but what you can actually buy in the US is more limited.  Oh well.  Not sure GRM is the market for 19"+ tires but OK.

Considering a lot of cars come with 19" from the factory, they are applicable to many of the readers with newer cars.

 

If GRM staff is reading this, I have a Fusion sport on 19s that would love a set to test. She's a proper 2 ton (4,025 lbs) girl with just as much power as the M5 but fwd based awd, so I'll work the hell out of the front wheels.

You'll need to log in to post.
