Rear Tyres for E39 5 Series

[The Aardvark]

Title says it all really - need to replace the 2 rears (currently Dunlop 235 45 17's) and just wondered about peoples experiences and any recommendations.
The car is used as everyday, about 40 miles, mostly on A roads, so dont need to be amazing 'performance' tyres, to be honest durability is probably more of a deciding factor.

Been happy with the Dunlops but any other views welcome.....

Many thanks

I used Falken ZE 912s when I had mine and had no complaints with them! They are mid priced, held the road well and were fine for everyday use!

Having said that the choice is endless, but I think some tyres have a better overall reputation then others. I think there is a thread somewhere on the site that reviews various tyres!
