For anyone looking at getting new fronts, or a all 4 for that matter, i have 2 spare 255/40/19's going. I bought 4 new Vredesteins for the M barge and have 2 Conti Contact 2s left from the last set. about 5 to 6mm left on each, even wear and no damage or repairs. Only getting rid as i wont be needing them myself.

Offers..... pm me.

(please do not remove mods as im sure its a waste of my time creating a proper advert for this sort of thing).

Just a quick one,
Are the tyre sizes the same as a standard m5, as i have been looking at vredestein
and just can not find the right size rears.

Remember, the E60 has 285 rears, which Vred do not do for the Sessanta tyre. The E61 has 275 rears which is an easier tyre to find. The next gen Vred tyre does come in 285 but its not in the shops yet.

Normally they need about 500 miles to run in but when I had them on my RS6 they were excellent and lasted much longer than others I've tried.
