Theres an online calculator which allows you to pick your axle weights, V Max and exact tyre product. http://conti-luftdruck.de/index.php?gelesen=1#result Check it out and see what you come up with. Cheers Yves |

Understand what youre saying though. I believe that Birds 335i Coupe demonstrator with all the trick stuff on it is running 2.2 bar at the front and 2.7 bar at the rear. Yves |

Just got mine on this morning and what an improvement. I've gone from 17" bridgestones to 19" Contis and I've already noticed the ride is vastly improved an less crashy and although still firm it's much better. Not had chance to see what grips available but at my nearest roundabout I took it at over thirty in the wet and it stuck like glue. So far so good

Great combo Tony!
I'm lucky to run PS3s on 18" and I'm very satisfied with the grip, both on dry and wet I'd say the wet grip is better than with the PS2s... |

First of all, great review as usual. Gives me a bad conscience as I have wanted to type up some reviews myself but just cannot get around to doing it. And now that I'm on holidays and my car not available I feel I have other things to do...
And I can confirm these tires are great - I had the pleasure of riding along with Tone for 2 laps on the Nürburgring, and they are really impressive. These will definitely be my next tires once I will have to replace my current ones next summer. And - the new Performance rims look fantastic! Alpina_B3_Lux

Hello E9* drivers,
my name is Karsten, just registered from Germany. First i want to say thanks for the great Review I need new tires for my Z4 M Roadster, dimensions are the same as on the E9*, 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 on new BBS CH-R (silver) wheels I first favourited the new Bridgestone Potenza S001, but his tire ist not available in this dimension. So i think the the Conti 5P is a good alternative. But i have some questions and i hope you can help me although you have the tires relatively new. 1.) I have read on the Sport Auto test that the Conti is not as good in constant load as the other test opponents. They give the Conti 12 out of 20 points. The Pirelli Pzero and Potenza S001 got 16 points and the Michelin PS2 got 17 points. Did you noticed something on the two laps on the Ring? Too much tread wear or greasing (hope its the right word)? 2.) Can someone say anything about the normal tread wear in this early stage? Hope my english is readable Regards Karsten |

I agree - still a heavy wheel compared to the lightweight Volks/Rays wheels, but this probably isn't a bad thing given the pot-holed state of UK roads. Recently bought a set of BBS lightweight 18" wheels with Cup Sports to use as my Ring setup

Think of the washers when you take out your engine again!
