BMW E65 7 series 760 v12 Tires

My thoughts are on the tire size the car came with 245/40r20j9 front and 275/34r20j10 rear. As a result the tires are quite stretched well compared with standard sizes on e39 M5 and e61 M5). If you have a gravel drive and just go to the golf club, fine. However, parking kerb to kerb many times a day I've kerbed my alloys. The 760Li does not encourage sporty driving, but the Primacy have been OK. Not impressed with the Pirelli P Zero on the rear. Looking to fit Michelin PS 4S in a wider variation. 295 on the rear as per Alpina spec. Alpina suggest 255 for the fronts but 255 might not offer enough coverage whereas 265 might need a spacer to clear the struts.

I was a little worried selecting these tires as the idea of budget tires on such a high performance car just does not seem like a good idea at all but I will only use them for three months of the year.

However to be honest I can hardly tell the difference from my summer Pirelli P6000 tires. They grip well and the car feels the same to drive despite the fact that I have fitted these to the 18 not 19 inch wheels. They have enough grip to handle the full power of the RWD car without problem.

They are also very good on ice and snow and cold weather which is the reason why I purchased them in the first place.

These tires are excellent may not look "sexy" but they work better than some Z rated I have tested.

Continental contact 2 Sport are also a good all round tire.

I have 500 BHP and nearly 500 Torques and you would never know.

This is why you pay a premium
