BMW 3 Series, thoughts on tyres, anyone?
Hi All, Checking my tyres recently noticed that the Rears on my BMW320D are getting near replacement. Currently running Dunlop SP2000E's(225/50ZR16). These have lasted approx 30K from new over 18 months.
Does anyone have experience or thoughts on replacements? Interested in your views on wear rates, performance, noise, best places to buy/have fitted. Many thanks,  R's Jim Lamb |

Whilst not claiming to be an expert on any particular variety of tyre, the Goodyear F1-GS3 and Toyo Proxies always get a good write up.
I got a good deal (and indeed good service) from http://www.blackcircles.com They have local agents around the country, but your transaction remains with the online part of the business, so you just turn up and get your tyres fitted in exchange for a signature. |

I wouldn't put another set of Goodyears on my car if you paid me. My favorites are the Bridgestone RE050 and Toyo T1R.

i have pirelli pzero rosso's at the moment, and admittedly don't pay for them, but they really are a superb set of tyres. they stick like glue to the road, regardless of what you try and ask the car to do. the noise, well, i don't notice it, and it can't outdo the dodgy bearing on the right hand side, so they can't be too noisy.

Thanks all, for the responses so far.
Does anyone have access to Manufacturers Tyre perormancne data. i.e. Mileage vs wear rates, Grip/Compound types etc? Many thanks, R's Jim |
