Tyre Recommendation
#1
Posted 29 June 2014 - 10:44 PM
it's been a while since I changed my tyres and here I am....going to change my tyres again
seeking some advise on what tyres should i go for
i'm open for brands like Conti, Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Toyo
size:
front: 235/45 17"
rear: 245/45 17" or 255/40 17"
this is the recommended tyre setup for BMW E39 M Sports type 66 rims
basically it should be 235 fronts and 255 rears....255/40 rear sort of left me with the most high end stuffs from tyre manufacturers therefore the other option is 245/45 which is slightly smaller
i'm considering CSC5 or CSC3 depending on pricing....
either that Michelin PS3.....
any other recommendations?
i have customized my absorbers with Titans running with M-Sport springs

Oh! you up size already. In that case, you can stick to 245/45R17 should be cheaper also....

Thanks for sifus kind advices.
If doing 50/50, on/off road, try A/T tyres instead. Better for off road but will be noisier on road....

Thanks you for your kind advice.
No experience with A/T tyres but basically their traction more for Mud & Snow (M+S) rated
You can also look at Bridgestone Dueler A/T, Pirelli Scorpion ATR
