Hi, can anyone give me recommendation for non-runflat 275.35.18 rears. Currently running Bridgestone non-RFT on the rear, but the best price for a good replacement is on Conti sport 2's. Is it worth the extra for for the Michelin PS2's???
Cheers

The michelins are great performance tires (I used them on my 2005 545). Unfortunately they wear out quickly, extremely so on the rear wheels.
My 2008 550 came with Contis. They seem great, but I only have 800 miles on the car.

To tell u the truth, i was driving Conti till this season, but now i bought Dunlop Sport Maxx, and i think that i never had a better tyre in my life! The price is also OK, but the tyre itself is great! Thats my impression!

My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
No doubt PS2 is excellent performance tyres but the price is too high......
and currently running Dulop sport Maxx on my 530i with 172M rims and they were excellent too!! No complaint so far (So grippy on dry and wet surface)

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Just talked with my dealer who is a BMW freak since the 80's, and he confirmed that
the PS2's are the best choice for a E60.
Do not save some relatively small bucks on the tyres - the car runs on them!
