The e39 530i has Falken tyres on it which, according to the internet, are a great tyre.

The tread on the rears is running pretty low and will need to be changed soon but they don't seem to give the grip I'd expect. I was driving home tonight and was still getting the traction control light coming on at 45 mph. The road was a little damp but it wasn't raining hard at the time.

Anyway, my default choice is to put Continentals on a car but it seem they to have discontinued the ContiSportContact 5 in the right size, instead they have ContiSportContact 3 which I thought were obsolete.

That's making me think of Michelin PS3s or Dunlop Sport Maxx RT.

Does anyone have any experience of the above? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks
John
