I've had good experience with hankook tires in general so I'd suggest them

I had Vredestein on my E46M3 before, pretty good grip in both dry and wet conditions. I was debating between v12 and vred, but decided to give vred a try and they are pretty impressive actually. Not as much grip as PS2s tho, but PS2s are $$$$..

i for one, was very pleased and happy when i had my falken fk-452's. I did not notice a lot of road noise as to most of the complainted, but yes the tread life was very quick.
after my fk's wore out i switched to nexen n3000's. They are a decent tire for the buck, but not nearly half the tires the fk452's were.
If i were to choose next, i would maybe try vredstein as an experiment, maybe nitto invo, or yokohama s-drives.

I'm using fk452s 245 40 17 right now. In the wet traction seems superb but in the dry its somewhat not up to par. Nothing compared to the azenis I had before but its a better tire in the rain. Sidewalls are way too soft but its more comfortable I guess.. it was never made to be a aggressive sports car tire anyways more for show cars with ultra low profile in mind.

Thanks for the thread, I have a set of 452 that needs to be replaced, and I guess I will try out the V12.
Which place has them the cheapest? I do not have the option of driving down to the states to change it since one of my tires are gone.
