Look into my Proxes 4 or T1S depending on what performance/treadwear you are looking for....
the Proxes 4 is an High Performance All Season tire that is mud/snow rated and will get you approximately 35,000 miles. The T1S is an Ultra High Performance Summer Tire that is not mud/snow rated and will give you about 20,000 miles (I currently have 22500 on a set of 245/45/18s). Need more info, look at our website, www.toyo.com. or e-mail me at the address above. Tire Rack does not carry these tires, our web site will lead you to authorized dealers or I have specific motorsport dealers across the US that will ship like Tire Rack.

I live in CA and AZ, no need for "special" tires just good ones that wont wear out super fast
these tires will only see sun, probably not even rain, so just something that will give me more mileage than the "normal" considering that most low profile tires are soft

Then look into the Proxes 4, it is a great tire.....
since you are in Arizona & California, contact Chapman BMW (ask for Brian Shackleford 480-949-7600) and tell him I sent you and he will get you a good price. He is one of our Motorsport Dealers and a SCCA racer, so he knows his stuff.
