Another "Which Tyre" Thread

BMW86 · 03-22-2010, 05:29 PM

I need new tyres for my other E46 BMW. Performance isn't necessarily the goal, I need something that will last the distance and perform well. I've already got RE-11's on my 135i and they handle great.

I've narrowed it down to:

Yokohama S.drive (Ultra High Performance Summer)
225/40/18
255/35/18
$588 for the set

Pirelli PZero Nero All Season (Ultra High Performance All-Season)
225/40/18
255/35/18
$600 for the set

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (Ultra High Performance Summer)
225/40/18
255/35/18
$566 for the set

Any advice would be great, I need to order ASAP.

the pirellis are nice tires...you will get more miles out of them than the others. Probably sacrifice a bit of performance and the Pirellis can get a bit noisy as the miles pile up.

If you want all season, see if the Brigestone 960AS is available in your size...I liked them even better than the Pirellis.
