OH NO NOT ANOTHER 275/35 r19 tyre recomendations....

[Malex350]

Hey guys
I know I know another tyre thread but I have looked and cant find the answer!!!

Need to replace the tyres on the rear on my 530d m sport 275/35 r19 non run flats.

Had a couple of sets of the stock conti sport contact 2 which I have to say were pretty good.

Then changed to Conti sport contact 5 on all four and have to say RUBBISH..... feel vague and have not enjoyed them one little bit.

So help!!!

Looked at Mich pilot super sport and have spoken to a couple of tyre boys and they said go back to Conti sport 2's

So OB1 only you can help
Regards
Mark

Hi,

The correct size for an E39 rear tyres when running 19 inch is 275/30/19

Some owners will run a 265/30/19 to increase tyre choice. The difference in rolling radius is small enough for no speedo error.

The fronts should be 245/35/19.. some also run 235/35/19 as well..

Cheers, Dennis!

Hi Dennis

Sorry to be a pain but it's not a e39 but an e60......

Does that make any odds?

Always had the 275/35 r19 on the rear from factory.....

Hi,

No worries on the clarification - however, I'm also under the impression, that for the E60, the sizes I quoted are actually correct as well! Please double check on a rolling radius guide and compare to OEM BMW 19 inch wheels fitted to E60 spec to be sure...

Cheers, Dennis!

My E60 has 275/35/19 at the rear - on the 172 alloys.

Would be interested to hear what you choose, where sourced price and how they are. I'm going to need a set soon.
