My Ride: 2005 545i 6spd sport, nav, cwp,sirius,logic 7. on order 128 wheels non run flat tires.
When my 545i 6 speed arrives i will replace the oem wheels and tires with 19"inch 128 wheels. I would like to use non run flat tires. During the past few months ther has been a lot of talk about tires. Can anyone suggest a good tire to buy for the new wheels. I had a 540i 6speed 2003 and had plenty of tire problems.I checked tire rack and narrowed it down but would like some suggestions from the experienced.

My Ride: 2005 545i, 6 speed, black sapphire with beige leather, style 128 wheels, and clear bra.
I too have style 128 wheels. The dealer put potenza's on it. They seem to be ok. I will either put these bridgestones or Michelin PS2 when I need new tires.

dave zeckhausen at zeckhausen racing said putting 19 inch wheels on the e60 would change the handling and feel dramatically . is this true
