new tire suggestions?

ajandhek · 05-03-2013, 03:58 PM

anyone had the Pirelli pzero all season or pilot sport a/s?

I had the Pilot Sport AS+ ZP (Zero Pressure) on my E60 and they were great. When i have to replace my OEM Conti's (loud and rough) I'm considering the Bridgestone Potenza 960AS RFT. The Pilot's don't come in my size and these are super highly reviewed.

I have Michelin Primacy HP 19" runflats on my F10 and they're very quiet and smooth. Not sure how effective they're going to be in the wet, but they're definitely ok in the dry.

I'll never do run flats again lol

Fix-a-flat. Paid ~$35.

I went from Goodyear Excellent RoF to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. They were great in wet and protected the rims, but were very loud and didn't remedy the lane-hunting from the OEM tires.

My 2013 has the Michelin Primacy and I'm very pleased. 240 treadwear isn't great but it's a factory tire.

I'm running Continental ContiSportContact 3. So far these have been excellent. Next tire I'm getting is Michelin Pilot Supersport. I have yet to hear anything bad about them.

I bought a compact spare and a jack and replaced my runflats with Pilot Sport A/S. It improved the ride 10x. I wouldn't think twice about doing it again.

I replaced my Rims and Tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports, keep the old front rim and tire in the trunk wrapped in a BMW tire tote, keep a Craftsman portable air compressor in the truck along with BMW jack, I still have plenty of room in my trunk for every day traveling. I love these tires.
