Default Summer = Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3; Winter = Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25

That's what I'm running on my Stage II+ with coilovers, and lovin' both sets of tires in 225/40-18. I would imagine they would be just as stellar in the stock size.

Default i ran the sumi's on my M3. good tire. i went with them all the way around for now.

i wasnt paying for another pirelli. they are horrible. the pilots are really nice, but not on these rims.

Summer: Goodyear F1 GS-D3. Winter: Either the Dunlop 3d or Blizzak LM-25. All-season: no idea
