Quick for a XF, but slow compared to the new AWD E63 AMG.

ET streets will be worn down rapidly with any sort of steady commute... seems you'd want to save that expensive meat for the track.

My BFG's are nearing the end of their life (thank God) and I'll be going with Nitto INVO's... always been curious about that tire, as it offers everything I look for (decent life, amazing grip, super quiet).

As of August, my work commute will be pruned down to five miles one-way, all at ~40 mph...

I don't mind wearing out a set of tires every summer, and the price of ET Streets really aren't that bad at $300 shipped each. However, they don't make them in sizes I'd need, so I'll need to go with another brand. I decided to keep the Brabus Reps, so I'll be running 19's on back.

I'll probably go with RE-11's (285/35R19) once the current tires are toast.
