Advice needed on much needed Tyre purchase

You'll be 100's with the Bridgestone.

As long as the thread depth is the same left and right you will be fine.
I have Bridgestones up front and Michelin at the back...nothing negative in the ride so far.
I plan to change the fronts in the next 5000km when they'll be just about done and put the matching Michelin up front just because i like to have the same tyre all round

**Just out of curiosity, do different pairs of tyres affect the drive and handling of a car (negatively)?

most important !
front tyres MUST be the same brand L/R and the same level of thread usage

Back can differ from the front, and back can even differ between left and right, without too much issues except for a slightly happy tail

Don't troll the owe when he is about to purchase tyres KNOB :roflol:



Im not trolling. You've only ever had good things to say about them:hammerhead:



Not on a performance car. The torque will probably shred the budget tyre. idk...

wherever you buy your tyres : check if they have insurance

I must say I am chuffed with the Tiger Wheel&Tyre offering on the continentals. I think I paid more than I should have but the warranty and insurance works like a charm. Bought new tyres, 2 months down the line
hit a pothole and my tyre was gone (finished/finite).
I then went back to them (Tiger Wheel&Tyre) and they gave me a new tyre for R400 (8mm less thread used).

I actually wished I could have had it much earlier, could have saved thousands on tyres that were side wall damaged, or hit potholes, etc.
Toss and buy again can be expensive!

I put Pilot sports on the rear of the 325i E92 about 500km's ago. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!!! Quieter, softer and waaaaayyy more grippy than the Bridgestones.

The downside is I now notice how shitty the front tyres are and I gotta change them as well
