Mop 9 Report post Posted April 27, 2023 Hi all, I’ve done a search but couldn’t find any recentish threads discussing and thought it was worth checking what the current consensus is on tyre recommendations. I need two 245/40 r18 for my E61 wagon, it currently has re050a on it all round (on the car when I bought it) but they are completely worn out on the very inside edge at the rear so needs a good alignment too. Was thinking I’d do all 4 but a quick google indicates I may need to sell a kidney to swing that… I don’t want to put rubbish tyres on it but don’t want to spend a fortune - are RE003 tyres still the go to for value/life/performance? If so, are people going to Bridgestone for them - they seem expensive? I’ve seen posts about pirelli dragon sports as a cheaper decent option but struggling to find any in stock. Most of the other options I’ve seen discussed in years past seem to no longer be available. Keen on any thoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I found this after posting and the local Tony’s has knocked a further $10/tyre off this price so I’ve booked in 4x RE003s with them. Still interested in hearing whether anyone has other recommendations, will have to do my wife’s car in 6 months I expect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1524 Report post Posted April 27, 2023 Id go for Michellin PS5's, they say they last quite a bit longer than PS4's. PS4's easily beat RE003 in all areas expect steering response. RE003's are a entry level performance tyre and very old tech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
