6 series tyres - what are you running?

[OnTheSauce]

My E64 650i needs some new tyres which means I can finally ditch these runflats.

I have a couple of questions:

What non-rft's are you using and what would you recommend?

And does the load rating on a non rft need to be increased? I've also noticed that many are extra load, is this preferable over a tyre without an extra load?

Wouldn't normally be this picky but thought I'd ask before dropping £800 on them.

Cheers all

I run Falken 510’s on my 640d.

They have finished above some premium competitors in the tests and far beyond Kumho the only other Mid Range manufacturer that offers rear & front in the desired size combo

Cheers. Are they an XL tyre?

Yes, made that mistake...bought a nice set of Michelin Alpine winter tyres for the front.

Didn’t give it a second thought, they were 91, we need 95`s. bugger

I’ve been eyeing up a set of PS2’s but they are an XL tyre with a 100 load rating. I’m not sure if this is overkill or if I’m just being too fussy..

Been using non RFT's on my E63 650 over the last 100k+ miles. Been really pleased with Goodyear Eagle AS2's and now running Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S ZR19 (100Y) XL. Only difference to the Goodyear's is in the wet, where the Michelin's seem to be in a different league.
I found RFT's a nightmare.
