If you want a great tire, screw Nitto. The previous owner of my cobra raced the car at the Autobahn. He used Toyo Proxes RA-1 Road Racing Tires. They are extremely sticky tires with a well balanced side wall, and have dimples for the road racing portion of them.

Here is a link to the tires. They are pricey, but VERY WELL worth it. Good luck in your choice.

I don't think Hankook makes the best of anything, I've always thought them to be a low quality economy tire, certainly not a tire I'd put on a BMW...
