quite a few useful posts about if your search [read :D eg.


I have used 4 different types of tyre on various BMWs i have owned

Goodyear F1s.. Very good tyre, exellent grip in all conditions shit wear rate scrubbed 2 rears off in 4.5k for that reason i wouldn't buy again 6/10 (Not for me)

Conti sport 2s These were good all round tyres alot harder compound than the F1s hence the grip wasn't as good but still very acceptable great wear rate 7.5/10 (would recommend)

Dunlop SP9000s Exellent all round tyre, grip very well in dry and rain little road noise great wear rate very good 8/10 (would recommend)

Michelin Pilots 1and 2 I dont need to tell you about these tyres as you have already used them i have had both and would definately use both again 9/10

hope this helps

I've also heard that Pilot Sports are best, I have originals on but now need to replace them, should I go for PS 2 & where's best to get em from - cheapest mail order as I will get local fit to save the rims from damage ? [read
