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.
Hmmm an excellent gastropod tire option from the sounds of it.

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.
