New Tyres
Hi all.
7000 miles on the clock and already I need new rear tyres. Been thinking about changing from the OEM to a set with a higher treadwear figure so they last a bit longer. I have a feeling the OEM Michelins have a 200/220 treadwear figure. Can anyone suggest another tyre that will last longer but not sacrifice too much of the handling? I was thinking Conti Sport 2/3's or possibly Bridgestone Potenza RE050's? Or maybe even PZero's/Dunlop? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cant seem to find anyone on here who has needed to change yet! Thanks |

+1 for Michelin PSS. Really awesome choice for tires!

But realistically... high horsepower and RWD means the rears don't last very long. Expect anywhere from 8K to 25K miles for the rears. Depending on how you drive. There is a reason why you bought a 1M. |

I just got myself a 2009 135i two weeks ago. I was looking at getting some new Michelins but they don't make the PSS in the sizes I need. Any other recommendations?

Depends on your needs really. If you're looking for a stellar summer performance tire and don't want/cant get Michelin PSS, check out Bridgestone RE-11s.
