• Big sidewall tear in a 225/40/18 92Y. Had to buy a new pair, annoying as the non-fucked one is only 1/3rd through its life.

    Went for Conti Premium Contact 6 tires because I couldn't be arsed to think through the pros/cons of cheaper/mid-range tires. But, for next time (or the rears which are 255/35 and expensive) what does the hive mind think about cheaper tires?

  • Used to have Conti on the Avant.

    I went with like 4 like TOYO Proxes.

    V impressed. Harder wearing too.

  • Think the EU rating scheme for tyres gives you a good idea on how to compare tyres.

    Could always sell the spare tyre ;)

  • Same sizes as the Z4, after reading shitloads of reviews and a bit of shopping about I got a set of Falken for £405. As they were replacing godawful runflats I can't compare with premium brands, but they are a huge and welcome improvement. They consistently performed in the top few overall on the Z4 forums, but, y'know, Internet forum.

  • cheaper tires

    If you're not fussed about performance tyres / having the best, and don't need one changed immediately, then like most things you can find good deals online for decent ones.

    So I wouldn't go "cheap", but you don't necessarily have to spend lots.
