T1Rs will last about twelve minutes on something as heavy as an ML - they're very soft.
You'd be better off with Falken 452s at the cheaper end (work well on my Jag).

Stylists and marketing folk have much to answer for.

Oak Green said: Spoke to the seller of this today. He bought it from Ecclectic cars a few years ago and gave it on SOR to Avantgarde but it did n't sell. He said has had 3 other E28 M5s and this is the best one he's had and he's only selling as he wants to buy Avantgarde's Hartge modded one.
Going to try and get there to have a look at it tomorrow.
Is it still in Tamworth Oak?

I've got T1Rs on the Puma, not sure how long they last as I've got a habit of puncturing them.
But they are good and at £200 for a set if they only lasted 10,000 miles I wouldn't feel ripped off.

The 750 must have been a Bahar pricing decision. IME 255 19s were 250 a pop, as were 285 18s. The T1Rs i had on an old car were decent; as said, they're a bit soft, giving decent grip, and are reputed to have a good wet tread pattern. The one downside I found was quite soft sidewalls, to the extent I could actually feel them flex under hard cornering, which was a little disconcerting at first. This was on a rice mobile with hard coilovers, though, so experiences may vary I stuck Falkens my NSX; they seemed pretty decent for the price, although the tyres they were replacing were so f  ked that Linglongs would probably have been an improvement!

If you want budget but good performance, 452s.

I plumped for Dunlops SP Sport 'fast response' on the integra because A: it was all they had in stock and B: Nobody seems to do the Bridgestones anymore?! Perhaps another budget choice? They are proving to be very good. They squeal under load but I'm yet to break traction, not amazing in the wet though. Had I known I'd of gone for the Falkeln track day tyres. They are only £79 a corner however I paid £110
