Hi all,

I am finally trading my 225/50/17 Dunlop RFTs for non-RFT tires on my 530d. I have thought about chosing either the Bridgestone Turanza LS-Z or Continental ContiPremierContact.

If anyone tried either of these tires on the e60, I'd really like to hear your review!

If there are other reviews of tires that you feel go well/do not go so well with this car I am also all ears!

Michelin PS2 may be the best for the street, rather pricey though.

Planning on trying the Toyo T1-Rs myself. Good combination of performance and price.

Hi oreo.

I've installed Michelin Pilot Primacy on our car, which should be the best tires if you want silince.. I was thinking of Pilot Sport, but the tire guy recomended that I should go for the Primacy, because I was so tired of the noice run flats.

After the tire change - it's like a brand new car!

From my experience so far, the Michelin PS2's are very good.

If you install Continental ContiPremierContact, are you planning to use those all year round? do you get snow?

There are many good tires. I like my new PS2's very well. Excellent ride, great performance, very light.

heezy & domv:

The PS2 are not made in 225/50/17. The PilotSport seem to get good reviews, but the PS2 even better. Have you tried either of these Michelins?

Simon:

I have now read the reviews on Tirerack on the Primacys - it seems as if many are complaining on the noise from these as well... I guess that I will not dare to go for those after the Dunlop experience, but maybe anything will be better than the RFTs If I decide to get something else, we should meet up and compare!

Amigo:

I do get snow, but then I use studded winter tires These would be used in the summer only! After having a further look on Tirerack, it seems as if the SportContact 2 might be a better choice for me if I decide to go with continental.

From some I have been recommended to have a look at the GoodYear F1 GSD-3. It seems as if most people are really happy with those, but some complain about tire noice after a while. Anyone with experience from these tires on the e60?

Thanks

primacy are crap forget about them. GSD3s come close to PS2 but have slightly softer sidewalls and tend to tramline on broken roads. Both dry and wet grip is phenomenal.

p.s. GSD3s are very quiet

GSD3 sounds like a good choice! Do you know anything about the difference between PS and PS2 (PS2 is not available in this dimension). Could you specify what you mean by "crap" in relation to the Primacy?
