Well if it were an E85 I would definitely be putting MPSS or MPS4s on.

As it"s an E89 I will leave it to those who know.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or Continental Sport Contact 6 would be the best. Those options are at the higher end of the cost spectrum though.
There's a few people who run cheapo tyres on here that swear by Uniroyal Rainsport tyres so they might be a consideration if you don't have much to spend.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or 4S if you have 19” wheels.

Any views on Bridgestone Potenza S001s?
I'm in the same boat needing a full set and noticed Costco have these (non-RF) at £120 Rear (255 35 18) and £94 Front (225 40 18) incl vat and fitting.
Anything else worth considering in the £400-450 bracket?

Save yourself some money without compromising on quality , grip , wear , noise / assuming the stock 255 35 18 + 225 40 18 4 x Vred Vorti on your doorstep for just £330

yep

had them on previous ZM , 35i & now have a set on current Carrera4 , i really doubt you could better them for the money

Thanks for this. I've heard good things about them too.. I've got Vredstiens on at the moment from the last owner though they're on the limit at 2-3mm and will just scrape through the MoT in a couple of weeks I hope! Assuming it passes with nothing else major, I want to get the MV2s refurbed, so am on a bit of a budget!

Easy. Like many things in life, buy the ones you can't quite afford.

But, if you're rich, just buy the most expensive. In the crowded tyre market, price is a good indicator of quality.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4, nothing comes close for grip, noise, durability and handling. Its a real premiere product.

I have Michelin Sport 4s on my E89 and am really pleased with them. But over the years a lot of us have benefited from the good advice offered by Mr W on wheels and tyres. He helped me find my current wheels. So if your budget is tight I don’t think you will go far wrong if you go with his suggestion.

I have new Vorti Vreds on mine.........as far as grip is concerned I can't even get the DSC light to flicker ! Comfy too.

I'm on Goodyears. Wet weather performance and ride comfort swung it for me. The newer Contis will wear out fast.
