i got continental sports contact II which i paid £70 per tyre from independent tyre specialist.
When my bmw dealer saw them at routine servicing i asked if rft's were one of bmw biggest mistakes and were they flogging a dead horse, they mumbled something and went to find the keys for courtesy car |

I've just fitted Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrc 2's to the rears at £400+. Fronts are £300+ for the two. They are supposed to be one of the best tyres out there and have come first on many tests, hence why I bought them. |

For me i prefer continental to goodyear or michelin - i think contis are best suited to german cars (goes out to check car... 205/55 r16 conti sports contact 2) from here: http://www.kirkleytyresandwheels.co.uk/ Last edited by BMWdriver85; 01-29-2013 at 03:38 PM.. |

Another vote for Goodyear Asym 2 - on my second set of rears and first set of fronts, having tried Conti 3 and GY Aym 1 before.
Will be sticking to Asym 2 for the foreseeable future...

For those with GY Asym 2 tyres, how long was it before they started to 'work'? Ive had them on the rears now for 600miles and they are still slip sliding about |

As with most summer tyres they're no good when it's cold (i.e. 5ºC or less).
Have all your 600 miles been in the recent colder weather?
