Looking to try to keep the spend to around £300 for the pair if I can. Kuhmo Ecsta Spt KU39's are £140 each fitted with Black Circles, has anyone had them in this size?
Ive had Continental sport contact 2 and 3, Michilen pilot sport 2's in this size on my own cars and have driven plenty of other E46's with all manor of brands including bridgestone, dunlop and some Chinese shit.

I cant recomend the conti's or michelins enough with the contis slightly better in the wet than the mich's imo.

The contis come in at around £300 the pair.
