Cooper Zeon 2XS
or
Nitto 555
They are both 225/45/18s
Which should i get...why?

 

I say nitto only because I used to have them on my se-r, never tried coopers before. The nittos seemed a little bit on the noisy side if you ask me.

 

How did they perform?

 

Not too bad, pretty good in the rain, but then again, it doesn't rain much in southern cali.

 

heh, thats good though
How was the dry traction from launch and turning?

 

Pics please

as I mentioned in your other thread asking about the coopers, I have them on my E36 M3. They are very quiet, as described on their website, and performance seems excellent. I do not know If this would hold true for the 8, as the M3 has a staggered factory set up, but I would imagine that the tire performance is just as good. Good luck...
