Hi peeps

Father has a BMW 318iS K reg & needs to buy a set of tyres.

Is there any particular tyre that works well with this car ?

Thanks.
Andy.

I recon remolds because they a cheap and last for yrs ;)

The Michelin Sports are very good and grippy, but wear out in no time, the Conti's are harder wearing but noisy, the best compromise was some Dunlops (2000s I think) good grip and lasted for over 30000 miles on my 330d :eek:

I would recommend either Michelin Pilot Sports or Bridgestone S03's, both seem to work well with the 3 series

Well its not like this car is going to need ZR tyres so any branded ones wil do the trick. Avoid P-Zeros on RWD as I found them crap on mine, Iam running Bridgestone SO-3s and love them.

For a 318 get Conti's or Pilots, car doesnt need expensive traction tyres.

My point exactly Tom - the Dunlop 2000s are c£100/corner, the conti's are cheaper, but the Dunnies are beter VFM.

W-rated are what you want for a 318is.
