Barge Tyres - 525d

[neil]

I'm needing to put new tyres on the back of my BMW - 275/30R19's. Currently got Conti Sport Contact 2's. Is there anything else worth looking at or am I as well sticking with these?

MPSS

Or ContiSport5 - just won the 2016 evo mag tyre test.

Almost time for a set of winters and get double the life out of your summers?

I've only just taken the winters off due to the wheels being slightly buckled so will need to run on the summers till I get the winters repaired or replaced.
Think I'll give the MPSS a try.

Have MPSS on the front of the 130i as fitted by the previous owner. They're very sticky and well rated, but I decided a bit overkill for a daily drive. Have fitted Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 to the rear (which bizarrely had Nangkangs) as they seemed a good compromise on cost/grip/wet grip etc... Will replace the fronts before winter sets in properly (we don't get it bad enough on the Ayrshire riviera to really justify winters).

I swear by conti's Neil,

I saw a car the other day with 6p's must be new out?

Quite expensive and relatively poor lifespan, but I personally don't think you get a better tyre for our climate - ran them on the Z4 and M3, once the horrible runflats I have on my 320d die ill be buying contis.

also worth a look is the goodyear eagle f1 assymetric, my mate has them on his z4m and I was very impressed by them too in the rain and the dry.
