Hi guys,

In addition towebwysard's question; i was hoping you guys could help.

I have a 530d M sport (2006) with 18" Goodyear NCT5 run flat tyres on the rear that require changing very soon.
I tried putting on a set of Dunlop SP sport 9000 255/35-18 on the back and it upset the handling of the car, so i put the run flats from the front on to the rear and the dunlops on to the front and this was alot better.
So to recap i have on the front Dunlop sp sport 9000 255/35-18 and standard goodyear NCT5 (RF) 245/40-18 on the back.

My question is can anyone recommend tyres for the back of my 530d M sport which do not upset the car excellent handling?

Thanks in advance
