Did you get a good price on the Conti's?
i have direct access to the supplier if you want i can get a price?

The Yoko's spoil you, no need to downgrade in rubber. Burke can attest to other brands going to shit in the cooler conditions

If the bigger Supsension places have not then try RAMP Auto Group:
European Car Performance Upgrade & 4x4 AWD Service centre - RAMP AUTO GROUP

They did work on my Mazda (although mainly work with Euro) and was very happy with the service and workmanship.

Yeah ad08 is decent in the rain, the gtr has federal rsr's on it and when it's warm I on just break traction in first on a slow pull, in the cold I light all 4 up. All the guys are the top the charts at the last sprint round were on yoko's

I only ran the AD08's on my 18" track rims and ran S Drives on my 19" oz racing rims.
My 19's on the M3 will be for daily driving and the stock 18's will get wrapped in something sticky for the track, racewars, etc.
I am now hearing stories from some of the M3 owners who have installed a supercharger. They all say I should be going with 19" x 11" rims in the rear to enable running like a 305 rear.

Pretty sure Mao worked on a BMW once, give him a call I'm sure he can sort it for you
