Hi - the sex5 's front tyres are close to being finished and bmw quoted me £310 a tyre to replace the Dunlop sport maxx 275 40 20 w - the cheapest I could find them was halfrauds at £210 fitted. However the kumho and hankooks were as low as £135 fitted - are these still good tyres? Is it worth the price differential?
Any advice appreciated!
Thanks

thanks all - not sure if the non-dunlop are runflats as I'm using tyrepriceadvisor.com and they don't stipulate - i presume not, which then raises the question of whether i should go non runflat on the front and stay runflat on the back till those tyres wearout?

Thanks Technomad - I have a best price of £193 fitted for the Michelins per tyre as opposed to £310 fitted for the Dunlop runflats - I presume Id have to do all 4, rather than keep the runflats on the back and go non-runflat on the front even though the backs still have a fair bit of life left in them?
Will nonrfts invalidate the warranty does anyone know?

Kwik fit however will do the two fronts in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RFTs (exactly what they have on now) for £426 fitted by a mobile fitter which is £200 less than BMW!!
I think I'll go this way.
Thanks for all your help everyone
