Tyre Recommendations - E38 16" Alloys

[d_a_n1979]

Managed to get hold of some superb condition BMW 16" Ellipsoid alloys for my E38.

Going to use these whilst I get my Style 32's refurbed so after some tyre suggestions because if I like the change in ride comfort I may keep them and sell the Style 32's on (already got them up for sale to see if theres any interest).

The ones I've bought have Pirelli P6000 tyres on currently; 215/65/16's but I'm looking to change to 235/60/16 as I've read that they're a better choice for better handling etc...

The Falken ZDE912's, 914's and Khumo KUI31's seem to get rave reviews and good prices too (£60-£70) as opposed to £100 per corner for the Style 32's!

Any other recommendations?

Cheers :D

Mess with the tyre-wall ratio and your speedo will lie to you !

Mixed reviews on these, especially in the wet, but I use nankang ns2's on my z3, 205/50/16's and even on the track they are pretty good.

£55 a tyres at my nearest stockist, and give good, quiet, general all round comfort.

May be worth a look?

Not messing with the ratios!

BMW recommend either 215/65/16 or 235/60/16's!

Yep I love NangKang tyres, they are performance based tyres but don't cost a bomb
