What Tires for my 09 135i?

scrapper · 03-31-2012, 08:27 PM

My Run Flats are burned out... need tire replacement for the
18's...

Just curious if any suggestions for rubber other than the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT at about $ 310 a pop ???

thanks !

Continental Extreme Contact DW is $250 each for 255/35-18. I just bought these today to replace my rears. They are quieter and have good grip at a reasonable price for a max. performance tire. The fronts are cheaper. I plus sized to 225/40-18 for the fronts 255/35-18 rear. A common size change here. No rubbing.

Conti Dw are great tires, Even you can find Ps2 at a decent price, that would work too. btw how long did it take it burn those stockers

I'd recommend the Mich PSS, little more pricy but rated best out of any tire out there. My new sets in the mail via Tirerack. I've actually gotten over 13K on my RFT's including allot of autobahn and a few "ring" trips. I do have to say I'll be looking forward to the new shoes. I kow a few peeps that have the Conti DW's and really like them but I was sold on the Mich's.
