Hi guys

Looking for some tyres at the moment seen some on black circles website,
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance
205/55 R15 V (88)
There going for around 100 per corner is that how much I’d be looking to pay or is that to much and has anyone had good experience with these tyres plus is this the correct tyre size. Dose anyone have any better suggestions.

It is one of the sizes listed by BMW as suitable. These are all listed on a sticky in one of the door apetures.

I bought a 205/50/15 as there was more choice in that size - the rolling circumference is slightly less than ideal, but the car seems happy on them.

Looking at what is available right now, I would fit the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 at around 73 a corner. A few years back I bought the Vredestein Ultrac, but doesn't seem to be for sale in that size today.

I am currently using Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance in my E36 and am very pleased with it. I find it better than Continentals that I had before.

For me, in the standard size it would probably be the Goodyear or the Conti although the Rainsport 5 is at its best when the E30 is most lively, could be the best choice if you don't want the back end out constantly in the wet.

I've been running Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun and very happy with them.
