255/40/18 for what car??so wide this tyre..

Advan dB is mid performance class tires. If you really like cornering fast maybe better try high performance ones like Michelin PS3, Goodyear F1-D5, or Bridgestone RE003.
PSS also does not have that size but there's the older PS2 available in that size in the Michelin MY web. Other good option is the Goodyear F1 Assy2 which should be better than the older PS2.

You mean the PSS? Maybe directly imported and not form the Michelin Malaysia distributor.

Nexen N8000 superbly priced,  superbly driven as well

That looks like it's way more than 4k mileage.

Woh rubber looks melted! Maybe not suitable to hot climates here. Did you turn off the VSC/TRC and did some power slides?

Thanks for sharing. I just changed my RFT. I was so tempted to take Pirelli Cinturato P7 because of the competitive price. However, the tyre shop owner told me the tyres are produced in China. So, he advised me to take Continental CSC5 SSR, which are manufactured in Hungary. The stock tyre I got for my F30 was GY. Though GY RFT is well known to have bulges, the three original ones I had last for 60,000km. One of them got a bulge after I drove for about 10,000km. Now, it looks like GY and Pirelli are big no no for RFT.

Hahaha, I know when I see an abused tire already.

Excellent choice with the PSS btw, the one of best if not the best money can buy.

Michelin is good tyres. I was very tempted to change to Non RFT too. I already had an air pump in my car. But, just can't let go the worry about searching a tyre shop in the middle of no where.

19" is great. Did you change your suspension? Or, it is stock M Sport suspension?
