Hi, I've got an E36 convertible currently shod with Pirelli P6000's. I'm happy enough with their performance, but they're very noisy. Can anybody suggest a good (quiet!) all round tyre for day to day use? Cheers! Martin.

just had some toyo T1R's put on the rear of my 328 Coupe E36 and they're a good all rounder. good in the wet excellent dry grip pretty quiet ect

i couldn't decide at the time between the ones i got and goodyear F1's but went for the toyo's as i read on the web reports of F1's with split side walls

no doubt someone will say different mind...

Michelin Primacy tyres are quality all round tyres that are quiet.

Honest John in the Telegraph Motoring section regularly recommends them to people wanting to reduce the road noise on their car. I had them on my E36 3 Series Touring and have now got them on on my E39 5 series. They last really well too.

The Michelin Primacy HP is the current tyre in this range. It's predecessor was the Michelin Pilot Primacy
