Another vote here for Camskill - fast delivery and good prices. Great if you have a local garage who will fit them for you.

I've got two of those on the rears of my Z4 Coupe (which I'm currently selling in order to buy an Edition 30) and they seem pretty good so far - have only had them on for a couple of months but handling etc seems on a par with the Goodyear F1s I had on before them.

I have them and think they're pretty good, not brilliant in the wet though if you try to set off too fast

Probably best to just go for the Falkens mate - I don't hear such good things about those alkens!  :laugh:

Falkens are a very poor tyre in terms of performance.

They are rubbish!  If you like chronic understeer then buy them. The difference between them and a premium tyre is night and day!
