In a few weeks spring will come to Sweden (Stockholm),


And the Dunlop Sport 01 RSC (Run Flat) need to be replace with new summer tires. The funny thing the Contential Winter King 2 (225/55 R16 BMW 115 Wheels) with spikes is more silent, smoother, much greater handling than the Dunlop Sport 01 RSC on non Snow roads.

So...


I got the original BMW 244 17" wheels on my 525i LCI 2007/04 with factory Dunlop Sports 01 RSC 225/50 R17 94Y - I found Continental Sport Contact version 2 and 3, Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (totally new model for 2010) and Michelin Primacy HP as great options for standard tire replacement.


Can I fit the 245/45 R17 95W or Y, maybe I stuck to 225/50 R17 94W or Y?

I want to try the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tires, but the Continental Sport Contact version 2 is cheaper about 15-20%, is the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 the best choice regardless?

Does any got any experience of these two tires?

 

What about the Michelin Pilot Primacy 225/50 R 94W or Y. I guess this is what BMW recommend on this car and an spare tire kit in the trunk.

The wheels on BMW 244 is only 7,5Jx17 so 225/50 R17 tires is the only dimension. You need a 8Jx17 for 245/45 R17 tires.
