Pardon the typo in the header -
Has anyone here had any experience with these tires on their X3?

I have an '04 3.0 6 spd, std suspension. currently shod with Pirelli Scorpion STR's in 235/55Hx17. Overall, I'm very happy with performance of these tires. They currently have approx 34K miles on them, look like they'll go another 10-15K, so I'll likely need some new skins next summer.

I'd like to stick with the OEM rims and tire size, and was thinking that the Neros might be a reasonable upgrade for some improved handling/responmsiveness. However, given that the std suspension with H-rated tires already rides firmly, I was wondering how much going to the stiffer W-rated Neros would impact the ride quality vs the improved handling/responmsiveness. TIA -

FWIW, this is my 7th Bimmer - '81 320i, '87 325is, '92 318i, '96 328is, '97 528i, '02 330Ci; all but the 318 & 528 have had the sports suspensions -
