Tyres for 118 d

[Beechy]

Morning
What are the best tyres to put on a BMW 118d and where is the best place to get them from?

Thanks

Mark

My Mrs has a 118d M Sport.

The Pirelli Runflats it came with wore out very fast after just 14,000 miles. She has Bridgestone Runflats now, they are lasting much longer. I have found both to have decent grip levels.

The Bridgestones seem to be the tyre of choice if you're sticking with runflats.

A large number of people swear by switching to non-runflats though.

My 120d was transformed when I switched from the OE Bridgestones to Michelin Pilot Primacys. Improved ride, grip and wear rate.

Are the Primacys runflats?

Mine were when I bought it. I swapped to Bridgestone, although its subjective mpg and grip are down. I did swap them in september so it might just be weather conditions.

I was wondering whether Michelin do the Pilot Sport 2 in runflat as they're proving to be superb on the ST and I'd be more than happy to have them on the BMW when it arrives.

We have those on the 330 and there not wearing too well on that, I don't think they gain that much grip either.

I put Sportcontact2s on my 17"s with a couple extra psi, much better than the rfts
