I'm drooling! Love the color! My '98 SE is the same color, I've also had a F-150 with that color, and a Mercury Mountaineer with a slighty lighter blue color- you could really see the purple in that...

How do you like the Sumitomo's? I ask because I'm running 18" Conti DW's that provide an excellent ride and grip but I'm not happy with their directional stability. Been thinking Michelin's next but the Korean stuff keeps getting better (like Kuhmo) but haven't heard much about Sumi's.

I actually dumped the Sumi's for Yokohama S-Drive's... They corner and handle much better than the cheaper Sumi's.
I like the S-Drive's so far... 2,000 miles on them so far.

Thanks Dom. I used to sell Yoko's (many moons ago) so it's not a real push for me - I'll check them out. And yeah, love your ride - really beautiful. I love my BAT suspension (I need the ground clearance) but yours sits perfect. If the CSVT looked like (and drove like) yours straight from the factory, BMW would have been in real trouble!

I've been interested in the Yoko S Drives for some time. Glad to read a good review.

The S.Drives aren't too bad, perform well for the money. they will however get noisier as they wear, just be aware of that. But I run 18s with low profile tires so YMMV.
