BTW which model and what size did you use.
dont forget we are talking about 19" tyres right now
most Hankook are bad but the v12 I seen looks very good.
same gose for Yokohama only AD07 and 08 are good the rest are crap.I used to have Yokohama on my stepwgn and if is wast of time and money.
maybe you can test my car when I have the V12 on

i am a high mileage guy and
i prefer to spend the money on nicer wheels.
if you change tyre at around each 18 months then Michelin is abit much unless you are rich.
for normal driving mid range price tyre are good.

F10 535-in order to get more comfort at the expense of the raw handling feel of the E60,
the car makes up for it when you floor it, it just gets up to speed very quickly.
then they have the ace card............

->what other sporty Prestige car at the start of its product life cycle packs >300bhp, 0-100km in 5.5secs and costs <740k?

MB E500 >1M
Audi A6 > looks like a sausage but car and driver said it beats the F10 !? wtf?
Lexus GS300> ever seen the Arnold Schwarzeneggar film TOTAL RECALL?

it's only competitor is the X6 35i

Tyre feeling is very subjective. I test it 2 years before, maybe now is better.

No need to test your car lar...I seldom drive other people's car because I don't like others drive mine either. They are all our baby!

Agreed. If you break it down, there is hardly a true "competitor" for the F10 535i sport.... If you REALLY want a performance 4 door saloon then you better save up for M5 or similar....
