Hi,

Have '87 350i, looking to replace tyres all round, plenty of trend but side walls cracking. Standard 205 60 15r with Pirelli p6000 at moment.

Cannot decide what best replacement options are, what have you got on yours? Was considering Falken ze912 or Vredestein Sportrac 3.

Cheers

I'll be going with Toyo T1-R's when mine are due pretty cheap and not bad grip etc.

Think you can only get 205/55/R15 though not 60.

About 60 quid each supply only.

I use TOYO's on my 280i, very grippy, but not the most hard wearing (not an issue the mileage I do in the TVR TBH)

Can I enquire where you saw them at £60?

Cheers all.

I went for Falken ze914s in the end as wanted them there and then, do not have the patience on these sunny days, also did not want to lower the profile as my house is up a rough dirt track and I tend to ground out quite a lot as it is.

Good job really as the tyres were apparently from 2001 and the sidewalks were rather badly cracked, was a bit worried about safety and the police, but all good now.
