Cheapest 20" tire YOU would be willing to put on your F10??

BigDeep1 · 04-13-2014, 03:57 PM

What is the best value for 20" tires for the F10 with cast wheels. Another way to ask this is: What is the cheapest tire you think that you would be willing to drive on?

Probably the Sumitomo HTR Z III. Hankooks are always a good bang for your buck though. Not much more than the Sumitomos in most cases, and they're really popular on Bimmerpost.

The Hankooks are decent for the price. Just make sure you get them Road Force balanced, and force match them to ensure the road forces are below 10 lbs

Hankooks are good in terms of grip, handling, and tread wear but be very careful with those tires on 20" cast wheels. The sidewalls are pretty soft so if you drive in an area that has road debris and/or potholes you might bend your wheels.

I bent multiple rims on Hankooks and then switched to Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports and love them. Muuuuch harder sidewall, the same price, and comparable handling/grip.

Search the forums buddy. Many don't use RFTs. I will call BMW road side as it's free. I also have AAA. Several people buy a slime kit or some other "Fix-a-flat" system.

slownfast · 04-15-2014, 10:16 AM

say no for RFT!

Hankook just came out with their Ventus V12 Evo 2's which apparently have stronger sidewalls. I actually had some of these on order but they were delayed a month so I went with the Bridgestones. I think the Evo 2's are around the same price point as the V12 K110's.
