Replacement tyres for 1 series coupe on 17" rims

[Fastfred]

Apologies if this has been covered before (esp. if ad nauseum) but having run a search I can't find anything other than a full review of every flippin tyre under the sun but without model specific recommendations.

Please be gentle - I'm from the Pork forum and have just bought a 2008 320D coupe with 2mm tread all round so methinks it needs new rubber before it rains.

Eagle NCT RFs at the moment and seems quite happy on them, but I really would appreciate a collective view from owners/drivers who have experience other than with OE fitments.

Thanks in advance for any comments. Don't be rude or I'll get the lads from the rear engine rear drive dept round to sort you!

I run FK452s on my 1 series (non-RFT). And, as always, very good they are too.

If I was to stick with RFTs, I'd go for Bridgestone RE050As.

Another vote for Falken 452. Great price and will transform the crappy run-flat ride. Just grab a large can of Holts Tyre Weld from Halfrauds.

I changed from non rfts on my 123d a few months ago, did a lot of research, although nothing wrong with the Falkens they are a bit long in the tooth and due for replacement (several people had also commented on being disappointed with them).
I decided it was worth spending an extra 100 quid on the new goodyear assy 2s which I have been impressed with.
Don't fit rfts again (unless you are overly concerned about the safety aspects). They ruin the ride and handling.

We have had 4 1 series now (5th on order) and done big mileage. We use runflats only.

The pirelli euforias are awful, wear very quickly, poor grip, prone to tramlining.

Goodyear nct, good grip and quiet, we had a set of fronts last 55k, only had to replace due to an odd grove wearing on the inside edge.

Bridgestone potenzas, good grip, good wear, seem to be a bit softer as well which helps the ride. Our favorite so we always get them now.

I have heard continentals are good but we've never used them.
