A 1000 options... :)
Tires are a very personal choice and perhaps you first need to decide if you want to stick with run flats. After that is the choice of all-season or summer HP. If you run winter tires during the cold months you can go with a summer HP. If not, you may want to get all-season tires. Conversely, some of my cars are on winter tires all year long.
The OE tires are usually a compromise between many aspects that make up the character of a tire. So, if you are happy with that, the existing set-up maybe fine. If you have some other priorities you may want to find a different solution. Whatever your choices are, read the reviews on Tirerack and other websites for any particular tire and you'll get a feel for how a tire works out in real life. To give you an idea, my E53 ran all summer on 18" Dunlop winters and is going on to a fresh set of 19" Pirelli winters in about two months. The E70 is on 19" Michelin Latitude Tours (pretty much done now). The Cayenne is on a set of 20" DWS, I took off the 20" Blizzaks that it came with. I tend to go with certain brands and models I like, but then find a good deal to drive the final choice.

For my E53 summer Michelin Latitude Sport 3, 19”; winter Nokian Weatherproof SUV (which are actually all-season tyres) 17”.
For the F15 summer Continental Sport Contact 5, 19”; winter Pirelli Scorpion Winter, 18”. I need to replace the F15 summers and will stick to the Contis. If I were to change to none run flat (insurance currently forbids) I’d definitely go to Latitude Sport 3 - in my experience it’s a really good tyre. As TriX5 says, it’s a very personal choice. |
