Need some replacement boots on my e39 540i

235/40/18 x 2
265/35/18 x 2

Have the conti sport contact 2's at the mo and I find the grip to be excellent although this comes at a price with quite a high wear rate.

Going for around 140.00 and 149.00 on mytyres at the mo....anyone know of a better deal or recommend a different make?

thanks.

Plenty of grip and let go slowly to.

I got 4 P-zero Rossi's in November, good grip, not too sure about the longevity. My rears are down to 4mm already (330 Ci), and I adjust the pressures weekly.

Same rims as 1st post, except mine are 225/40/18 on the front.

I had a lot of road noise from my Conti's on my E39 528i even resulting in me replacing each front hub.
The tyre that transformed the car is Goodyear F1's. Good grip and silence.Now on my second set.
