06 E85 3.0si Sport
For the fist time since ownership I am looking at replacing the rear tyres. I will be leaving the fronts until they need replacing as they are near new on (<3000 miles), I know its frowned upon but that should be ok right providing I'm not pushing the car to its limits, which with winter due would be irresponsible anyway? At least I'm not mixing and matching across the axle that is a dangerous heinous crime.
I've been trying to do some reading up but have only come across one real thread on the subject in recent times, search fail? (http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=71530).
Car is currently on Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 255/35R18 W90 and like on the front.
A like for like switch is going to cost me £ 391.98 (195.99 x 2) Blackcircles.com.. are you kidding me
I had basically all but decided to ditch the run flats as the tram lining is wearing thin and having driven Bish's Z4M on Mich super sports it was like driving a totally different car on the same roads, much less twitchy and all together more settled and confidence inspiring and then I saw the price which unless someone can put forward a cast iron argument for not switching away they are so gone.
I know a bunch of you guys have ditched the runflats on the sports what have you ditched them for and are there any accessories (inflation kit, AA gold membership) that would be recommended?
Black circles are recommending Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 at £321.98 (£160.99 x 2) fully fitted which seems the way to go have also seen people talking about the below but I've no experience with these brands, any thoughts?
Avon ZV5
Hankook Ventus Prime
Nokian zLine
FYI - car will be garaged through snow, so no worries on the its 22nd Nov get winter tyres.
