WanderlustGuru Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Salutations everyone. To silence the boo-hoo, I'm prepared to purchase four 225/55/17 tires for my 520d. I am astounded by the fact that the front Michelin Primacy, while being 3 mm thick, maintain an excellent grip in wet conditions. Worn out and unimpressed with the little drone they produce. Hopefully it's not a bearing, which it appears not to be. I could have three Goodyears because there's one Goodyear Efficient Grip 2 on the rear that's one year old. Or, I could acquire four decent mid-range tyres (I'm not keen on spending £600 on high-end tyres) like Nankang or Khhumos for the same price. While I do desire decent wet grip, my primary concern is just having comfortable tires; handling is of utmost importance to me. Am I to ask for advice? Additionally, there are those who believe that the original fitting was much inferior to current run flats. Is that so? Having a puncture in my car—the one I use for work site visits—would ruin my office day, especially because I don't have a spare. So, that would be a godsend.

Black_raven Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Great tires, buddy. I had Goodyears on my E320cdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago No way. Runflats are never a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcar2022 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I own them; I fail to get the animosity; in fact, I find that they are very excellent at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderlustGuru Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago It appears that they are dividing opinions. Might I ask which ones you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderlustGuru Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago It seems definitive! The second one it came with was completely at random, so I'll probably receive three Goodyears to match. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcar2022 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Never had an issue with either Conti or Goodyear F1s; however, I have heard that the newest Michelin runflats are much better, so I may give those a go when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
