M140i tyre replacement

[catman]

Hi all,

My Son has an M140i, currently on 18" Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, which are due for replacement.

Are there any recommendations for a tyre with the same level of grip as the MPS4s, with the same level of ride quality and noise?

Thanks for any replies!

I was going to go for the PS4s or PS5s on my F31 but went with the Goodyear Assym 6s and have found them to be superb so far and a good saving on the Michelins too!

I went with them after Jon's reviews on them vs the PS5s

I have Goodyear EfficientGrip on my F30 335d. My main priorities are wet performance, and comfort/noise, and they have not disappointed. Also, they have a full 8mm starting depth (I measured mine at 8.5mm in the central groove). In reviews, the Goodyear Assymetrics may edge it on some performance factors, but having had mine for a few years, I would not be changing from them when I have to replace them. They are 18” staggered and certainly miles better than 19” Pirelli zeros they replaced.

Hi guys,

That's helpful, thanks! 👍

The Good Year Asymmetric 5/6 are really good tyres. Generally pretty well priced too.

The Sport Contact 7 is supposed to be really good.

Thanks for your reply. 👍

Check MyTyres for good prices currently. Same with Camskill.

You get them delivered and fitted locally...

However, Asda Tyres look competitive currently, more so when compared to BlackCircles, I tend to find them a rip off TBH

Thanks for the info! 👍

Asda tyres are very competitive.

Kiwi Fit were the best price for the Asymmetric 6’s fitted to my wife’s 330i (£290 for the pair).

Depending on where you are in the country, Stratford Tyres are very competitive and do a good job fitting.

I'd go PS5 personally. Similar grip to the PS4s but much quieter - I've got them on my 125i and they are brilliant tyres. Cost a little more than the Goodyear/Contis but will typically last longer so work out about the same price overall.

I've got a little less power and a lot less torque than an M140i, but I never see the traction control light flickering, even in the wet.

Hi all,

My son has ordered the Goodyear asymmetric 6 tyres. Thanks for everyone's input, it's appreciated.

He'll do well by them; they're great tyres
