Tyre Choices

Simon-BMW · 05-11-2021, 01:53 PM

I’m sure this may have been asked before but can’t find a post.

Need to replace my rear tyres.

Normally I buy Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

Was looking at the Eagle F1 3’s

Anyone have any recommendations or what they have put on as a replacement?

Go for the F1 A5's if your a fan of the A3's as they are supposedly a big upgrade on the 3's, I have the A5's and I can't compare them to the A3's as I've never had those before but I can say that I'm happy with them in the short time I have had them and they are a big improvement on the Bridgestone's that came on the car.

I did try to find the A5’s but couldn’t get them in the search return when selecting BMW as the manufacturer

Toyo Proxes Sports are superb tyres for the money, as are Hankook Ventus V12 Evos, although they've shot up in price over the last few years since Hankook became an OEM supplier

I’ve never seen a BMW on OE Goodyears; I wonder why BMW doesn’t seem to use them?

Apparently the BMW 5 series are given Goodyear as OE tyres back in 2018

They do - just not as much as Pirelli or Bridgestone as far as i can tell.

They are definitely out there search by size and you should find them.
I got mine via Tyreshopper.

Yup! It has been awhile since I last noticed them on a road going car to be honest.

Mine (Feb '21 build) came shod with Goodyears.
