Yokohama A048
Hello guys..
just wonder to share with you my impressions about tire from topic mounted on z4m coupe (pic in attachment). Dimensions: Front: 225/40 18" Rear: 265/35 18" After 4 months of waiting them, finally they came...first week you feel like you are driving on plastic tires (no such grip, still few 50-100km is security layer), now after month ago, i will never use any other tire over the summer time for z4m except A048.Sick tire, sick grip, sick braking grip, everything related on driving with it is superior.You just have to be careful when the tire is cold, but after 20-30 km, that thing starts to eat every inch of the road. Best regards, Karlo |

A048s are awesome track tires but IMO they take too long to warm up on the street and can be dangerous until they do. Loud as hell and fast-wearing too. I used to run them when I had an Evo and ended up relegating them to track use only. These days, on my M, I run Toyo RA-1s and Nitto NT-01s for all around daily street/track duty. Much better wear (and won't heat-cycle out so quickly) and they're grippy right away. Probably not quite as much ultimate grip as the A048s though, so enjoy yours while you can!

R888
After running RA-1s on my former Zed 3 M Coupe' I mounted the new R888s on my Zed 4 M Coupe'. Two driving school days (eight 25 minute sessions) and I'm liking the triple eights. They reach operating temperature sooner than the RA-1 and also gain more pressure when they heat up. I run mine at 41 PSI front and 38 PSI rear HOT.
