Could someone point me in the right direction for the most suitable tyres for my 7 series 730d 2005.
I currently have Michelin Pilot Primacy 275/35 R20 98y on the rear and Michelin Pilot Primacy 245/40 R20 95y on the front (should they be the same?)
I do less than 10000 miles a year and use the motorway infrequently.
They seem quite expensive around £275.00 each.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Ray

That's cheaper than I could find them mail order.

I guess with the mileage you do at least you could expect 2 years out of the tyres.

Similar tyres would be Continental Sport Contacts which should be a little cheaper.

As I always suggest for mid-range tyres what about Falken 452's? Should save you about £100 per tyre.

Thanks Ian.
You are right.
The cheapest price I could find for Michelin is £323.00. The £275.00 I quoted was for Pirelli P Zero.The rears need replacing but they have done 35000 miles from new so I am keen to stick to Michelin.
Do you know of any less than £300.00 fitted?
Many thanks

Not a fan of Pirelli's wet weathers performance.

When I searched earlier, I was getting them for around £300.

Thanks again Ian.
Managed to get the Michelin for £318.00.

No worries. Thanks for letting us what you went for in the end. The next 7 series owner to look here will now have your recommendation for tyres and what you paid for them :thumbsup
