Hi

I have a 530D M sport 2006 reg. I have now done 16000 miles and rears down to 3mm or just over. I do not let tyres go down to legal min. I see that it has ContiSportContact1 fitted at rear 275/30/19/Y. I cannot find these tyres although ContiSportContact 2 is available. Do I take it that the 2 is a direct replacement for the 1 being an older model tyre. Any tyre experts out there that can advise. Has anyone in the SE England a tyre supplier who offers good deals.

I have been offered ?243 each fitted. My BMW dealer says they can do a good deal on tyres but havent got a price from them yet. I open to change all four for a different brand on recommendation. Original fitment non run flat. Is it best to stay with Contis?


Advice welcome


Thanks

?243 isn't a bad price... SC2's are the replacement for SC1's. (Indeed the SC3's are available in certain sizes)

How much tread left on the fronts?

 

?243 EACH is a good price! I thought mine at ?160 were expensive. 520d runs more humble tyres and mine are looking to last 45k.......

www.blackcircles.co.uk have them at ?228 fitted locally to you

 

Hi

5mm so they are ok. Expected the wear at the rear I suppose. Bi heavey car. I do not throw it around but like to use the acceleration available when I need to so the backs are going to go. I wonder how many miles other get out of there 530Ds?

 

Thanks for the blackcircles site. Nothing humble about the 520d. I had the use of the 520d as a service car. It was a manual and I thought a nice car to drive. The fuel guage moved slower as well

 

16k is not unusual. My PS2's were lasting a bit better than the dreadful Dunlop flopflats.
