What Tyres?

[Paul Rice]

It's time to bite the bullet and change all 4 tyres on the Z4. Still some life left in them but a different brand in each corner, a definite no no in my eyes, so which to go for?
Z3 was much improved when i changed to Falkens, so some brand loyalty their.
Price wise wanting to keep under £450 for the four 18x40x225 front 18x35x255 rear.
Looking at Falkens, Hankook, Pirelli or Dunlop any thoughts guys or alternatives?

Well impressed with the Pirelli P Zero Nero on my Z3, well under £450 at the time of replacement from Black Circles.

I'm happy with my Uniroyal Rainsport 3's came in under 400 if i remember correctly road noise good wet handling supurb Z3 feels sure footed and i like to throw it around

Uniroyal £400.60 Good write up on Black Circle!
Pirelli Zero £457.98
Michelin Pilots £503.88-£40 discount £463.88

Just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on the M a change from Continentals, much better and just under £450, but obviously 17"

This would be my choice

 

[Paul Rice]

Was all set to order Michelin Pilots at £460 Offer now ended (typical) so back up to £500 after a re think and a new washing machine, Kumhos on order, good feed back and £360 may regret it but limited mileage so hopefully OK. Fitting Friday, good excuse for a run out and feed back!

@Paul Rice Did you try Black Circles. I can get 4 Conti Sports in those sizes for under £500
They are also doing a deal on the Michelin Pilot 4 with £40 off when purchasing 4. Coming in at around £460

Was going for the Michelins but the offers have changed, nothing on the Michelin got 10% off the Kumho's

Michelin PS4 are supposedly the bets all round tyre available but come at a price.

ive enjoyed Hankook Ventus in the past as a cheaper alternative but they are no a patch on the Michelins,

 

[Paul Rice]

Well the Kumho's are on and first impressions good. No real handling test yet but the car rides the potholes better and feels less skitty. The fitter said they are no match for the Michellins and wear much quicker but as its on a car that will be doing about 5K per year don't think it will make much difference. Time will tell but so far so good.

Been testing mine over the last few days and generally I'm happy with them. Discovered tonight that they let you use OPPO lock on roundabout exits with no drama

Don’t think I’ve had the Michelin PS4s let go yet. Clearly I’m not trying hard enough
