What Tyres for bmw 535d

[phil_c]

The time has come to change the rears on my car. They are 275/30 r20. Been thinking Pirelli p zeros or michilin pilot super sports. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

Pilots are hard to beat, decent all rounder tyres. Plenty grippy when needed but not particularly fast wearing. Dear as fook I'm sure in your sorta size though

Another vote for MPSS

Super sports or go for the pilot sport 2's. The pilot sport 3 is a good tyre, designed more as a oem road tyre but wouldn't offer the same performance as the 2 or ss.

Definitely Super Sports, they're a step up from the PS2's and the PS3's as you say are a completely different kettle of fish.

Still not a bad tyre the ps3. Especially on a daily.

Yea, it's better than what most people have fitted. Bit misleading from Michelin to name them as if they are the successor to PS2's, though.

MPSS all day long.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered the Pilot super sports today but they are on back order

i ran ps3 all round on my last car thinking they where the new ps2. but they arent. as said they are ok, and i found them to wear very quickly. it is very misleading/clever branding. i think that tyre is a "eco come sport" tyre.
i am now on to the mpss, very impressed. and nearly a year on them and still loads of life.

PSS2s are OK but I much prefer the MPSS on the M4. They're a superb tyre (IMHO) slightly softer compound so don't expect to get 12K miles out of them......
