which is the better tyre to got for? the tyre specialist at my local dealer said uniroyal because they are made by continental and they are very good in the wet. But kwik fit say that pirelli are much better? what do you think?

I have Pirelli P7's and I'm pretty pleased with their performance in the wet and dry (now on 2500 miles). I didn't have a choice of tyres from the dealer - it was simply what BMW Ag were putting on the week of shipment !

I have the Bridgestone Potenza as they are the run flat ones, grip was not as good as my old E46 M3 with Continentals, may change the tyres for non run flat when they need replacing.
