I'm having some RE730 mounted today - Coming from Dunlop SP8ks. They are ranked very closely at TR.
I wanted S03s, but the shop didn't have, and couldn't acquire any, and I was in a pinch timewise; otherwise, I'd get the S03s.
Love the look.

I've got the same wheels w/ Michelin Pilot Sports. It was the package deal from L-Tuned. The tires are terrific; great performance, balance, ride and wear. Sure they cost more but IMHO they're worth it.

I just had new wheels & tires last week. I put on 275\35\18 R, 245\40\18 I'm using Yoko db's. they are very quiet tires. I used 17" Kumho's w\c is ok but they're not as quiet as the Yokohama. The Yokohamas is a little bit more than the Kumho but it's worth it. If you live locally, try to go to Victoria Tire in L.A. that's where I got them.

I actually run the FZ4 from Toyo instead of the T1S...on both of my cars and am thrilled with them! They are quiet and I expect to get about 40K from them, and on a car as heavy as the GS4, that ain't too shabby! They should be around $160-$180 for those sizes...Check them out!

Sorry GUYS my Cars wasn't clean for that shot !
Listen,
Have put about 250 miles on those tires, I took them pass 100mph, and drove through the mountains......... in summery ! THOSE WHEELS ARE NOT THAT GREAT ! THEY SLIP SLIP SLIP SLIP SLIP all over the place, if you are looking for handling thoses are not the tires for you, but if you are looking for value, please don't put them on you GS ! They are not good on corners, ever time I corner sharp or quick the traction light comes on, and the beeping sound comes on !
Solution :
I went back to my tire shop and order Mechilen Pilots Sports 220 A/A the best tire they had in the store.
I'll post up the pictures on Friday.

talahz those wheels don't look right - they are missing the center caps... where did you get them again? The wheels should come with Michelin Pilot Sports that are very good (not as good as Bridgestone)
