Hi,
I need to buy a set of new tyres for my E60 535d. I've currently got 18" style 135s (the standard sport alloys) with Goodyear RFTs.
I've also now got a set of M5 alloys (19" 8.5 front + 9.5 rears) and need tyres for them. Sizes im looking at would be a pair of 275/30/19 and a pair of 235/35/19.
Can anyone recommend tyre brands that are ideal? Are the Toyo tyres any good? they seem quite cheap?
Others im looking at are Goodyear F1s or Pirelli PZeros...
Any advice would be welcomed!
btw im in the uk!
Thanks
