Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

Best tire recommendation.... Get your self some Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Pluses for this bad boy and you'll be cruising in comfort.

I ended up getting the Michelins at Costco on sale for a great price. I love them so far, will have to see how they are in the rain/snow

I ran 16" Michelin Primacy Alpin's on stock MINI alloys on my Clubman and loved them

I've got the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they are absolutely amazing. I'm in Socal so summer tires are all I need really. They are the best overall rated tires on Tirerack's summer tires comparison. That plus tons of personal recommendations made my decision for me.

Replaced my dunlops 2 days ago at 43k with Pilot Sport AS 3s. Love them so far. Super sticky

I've have a great experience with Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They'll get you around in the snow but also perform really well in dry conditions. Their grip in corners is really strong and they don't let go.

What I can tell you is that the AS 3's have eliminated all the road noise, my handling is vastly improved, and they grip like hell - I used to get chirps when I would floor it off the start between DSG shifts. Not anymore!!

Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)

I have the same tires and would have to say that they are pretty noisy. I have about 10K on them now and they get louder everyday.
