I was looking through some old threads on the site, has anyone purchased tyres recently? There is currently 19" Michelin runflats on my 2012 520d and the front two will need replacing in the next few weeks.
Any suggestions or good experiences on here? I wont be going runflat going forward I'd say as there not the most comfy and obviously the price.
Thanks,
James
Got my parents E60 and range rover fitted with hankooks in Tyreland in Glasnevin. Cheapest around. Sister got her E90 fitted with Run flats there too
I know the manager but he didn't give me special prices.
I'll be going back to get some tyres for my new alloys soon too.
Have bought a rake of tyres recently for various family cars, bought both on Camskill and Oponeo...nobody local could come anywhere close on price
Read reviews on the Hankooks and they seem decent alrite.........Quote:

That's true, what brand are you using on the e60? Were they 19" or 20"?Quote:

Found them little bit cheaper than other online places. Only issue was delivery. Tracking numbers were messed up, it took over a week to deliver rear tyres, and had to wait couple days for fronts.
19's on mine. Had all sorts over the years but currently have Hankook ventus evo on her which are surprisingly good for their price range ! No rim protection whatsoever though !! Need fronts at the moment though so thinking Goodyear F1's next!
How you finding them for grip and in the wet?Quote:

Very impressed and will try get them next time I buy tyres.
Thanks :cool:
Im currently looking at Hankook Ventus S-1 Evo2 K-117 as a set for the summer. Seem like a decent mid range tyre. Finding it hard to justify Michelin PSS i had originally planned, on what primarily is a mile muncher. Although surprisingly the wear rate on Michelins is supposed to be very good, hard to make up my mind! Been thinking about it the last couple of weeks!
Have the Hankooks for the past few months...grand tyre for my 525i anyways!
€250 quid cheaper than the Michelin PSS for a set too, nearly the price of a refurb on the 225s ;)
€110 fuel voucher offer now back with the Michelins, narrows the gap a bit!
Hmmmm now to add to the conundrum I've found out Michelin PS4 are just launched but the 19's wont be out for a few months...to hold off or not!! I've decided to splurge, I'm 95% on Super Sports now, the reviews of Continental's wear are seriously putting me off. Had PS3's before and was quite impressed.
