I have some tire questions.
What brand of tires are you running on your E63?
What milage do you get out of it?
What pressure front/rear?
Is there a general recommendation?
I just (1k km) have my tires replaced with Bridgestone Potenza's. They so far feel good and of course no significant wear.
I just want to know the opinions of this forum.

My Ride: (USA) 645Ci, Silver Gray, Chateau, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, Sport PKG, Step, NAV [Std Equip in 645], HUD, Satellite (SIRIUS) Radio, Aux Input, Bluetooth enabled using iPhone 3GS w/ adapter cradle - Build date - 01/05, Baby delivered 2/24/05
As came with US Spec Sport Pkg, the Bridgestone Protenza RE050A RFT. Just changed to second set at 30,001 miles. Actually had about 4-5k miles left on fronts, but opted to buy all four at same time for slight discount. Although some claim slight ride and grip penalty compared to Michelin PS2 and perhaps other non-RFT and was very pleased with all aspects. No increased road noise from start to finish more than enough grip for my pretty aggressive style and 30k miles ain't that bad.
Pressures:
36-39 PSI (2.48 - 2.69 BAR) rear (start at 39 and when down to 36, pump up to 39 again)
30-33 PSI (2.07 - 2.28 BAR) front (start at 33 and when down to 30, pump up to 33 again)
