[htid]

What tyres do you suggest is best on these alloys for a 57 plate 530D. can put NON run flats on?

They are:

275/30/19 at the back and 245/35/19 at the front BMW 19" 172 Spider Alloys.

I can personally recommend these.
Brilliant for the money.
As good as the Michelin Pilot Sports they replaced, yet they're half the cost.

Good suggestion Magnus, I have Falken 452's on a set of my alloys and they are very good, however Camskill sell them cheaper then the Ebay links above.

Whilst Falken tyres were OK on my 535D, the rears (although I'm assured were correct) always appears too narrow for the alloy and had no lip to protect against curbing.

They also took a good 1000 miles to 'bed in'. Aside from that, they were pretty good tyres for the money.

I assume this is for a saloon?

The only reason I ask is I'm just away to buy a set for my 550i touring, but the touring needs to run 4x 8.5" rims, rather than staggered.

So I'm stuck with 245/35/19 all round, although I'm thinking I can easily get 255/35/19 on a 8.5" rim on the rear.

I will also be buying Falken 452's. Camskill are by far the cheapest so far, just £132 each.

£132 each was what I paid for 452s on my Alpina D3 too.
From a local dealer, so no fitting over and above that.
For that money, an absolute bargain.
