I think you'll be happy. Regardless of which one. I can say from experience DRs work! Check out the video. That's with the 20" MT and all traction control off.

I run the NT05 305/30/20 its very sticky and the grip is awesome in dry condition and you feel the real grip after the second pull when the tires warmed up probably.

I have been this specific tire for a couple of months and absolutely love'em in dry conditions. The biggest difference that I noticed was that I can still break them loose but the car is very controllable with these tires. The stock Michelins are pretty hairy when they break loose as they will be all over the road and into the next lane.

I'm desperate for tires at this point, but the nittos look so damn ugly, I cant justify putting those on my car, unless its for the track only.

I don't drive my m5 much, so Im not too concerned with wear.

I just love my black comp wheels I think they look awesome, too bad there only 10 inchs wide.

The Cup 2 is doing a great job so far , no spining at all and the car feels so comfort + it's not noisy like R888 and NTO5 . Btw i drove it on a wet condetion for couple hours
Go ahead do it

For me with 305 i don't need spacers , but with 10mm spacers you will be fine , 12mm spacers will cause rubbing issues to the fenders.

Ok, I do have 10 all around.
I'll see how it is with the spacers if they become a problem I will remove.

I hope I can get 2nd gear back after my tune, 1st and 2nd don't exist anymore.

Hey , just installed Cup 2 on my m5 on EOM 343. Looks not really cool , but the grip is amazing. I noticed the handling issue , the car is not rock solid any more on the high speeds >150km/h (it is can be corrected a bit in Handling and Suspension in Sport Plus Mode). It has some freedom on the back. I am thinking may be i run wrong pressure (cold 2.8 bar, hot 3.3 bar) , what is your experience?
