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!

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!

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?

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
