[s-cars] TIRES

[Theodore Chen]

Hankook Ventus V12 evo.  Inexpensive, did well in a recent C&D tire shootout.  Not all-seasons, but great for a car that never sees anything more than some rain.  I just bought some for my wife's 330i, and they are noticeably better than the Pirello PZero Neros that they replaced.  The car had some vagueness when pushed hard in corners, even when the tires were new.  That's gone now.

Actually, the OP asked about tires for SoCal, hardly a place for
all-seasons.
