Daniel,
Maybe you should tell us how they are since you've had a couple sets?? Which of your cars is heavier the benz or bmw?

To tell the truth. If I can find a tire that gives good traction and is predictable at the limit so I know when I get there (not that I think I can drive my car to the limit) I hppefully can feel it starting to go away and correct it, and only have to buy tires every 2 years would be golden. I do not want to drop 1k plus every year for tires.

another reason I got Kumhos, they come in 255/50/17 which is almost exactly the same diameter tire and still decent amount wider, and it looks better on the car as compared to the low profile sizes , if you don't lower the car and put on a low profile tire it looks like crap and that rear gap looks much worse!!! IMHO

Well I ended up going with:
Hankook Ventus V12 evo - P255/45/ZR18 on the GT500 wheel (M-1007-S1895B)
So far I like them, they seem way better than the stock tires (big surprise there).
