E60 Tyres

[blank]

I'm looking for some opinions on long lasting tyres for an E60 5 Series with 19" wheels.


My bro' needs to replace his rears and we've been looking around at possible replacements:

Michelins - more expensive than the standard Continentals - worth it??
Standard Continentals - rears have lasted 30k, grip was apparently OK.
Goodyear Eagle F1s - fair bit cheaper, I'm guessing they'll grip like a bd but not last long?
Vredestein - Seem good value, and always seem to win Auto Express tests, but do they last?


What have people replaced theirs with and what did they think of them?


Cheers.

Had Falken 452's on my previous 535d - Would consider them specially cost wise..

Do you happen to know how long they lasted?

Bro has a 520d so taming power not quite as important, but does around 50k a year so the longer lasting the better!
