Tires for a 525i

[ricks5series]

Hello,
I'm new here and I thought I'd post my first thread. I need some input as to which tires you all would recommend. I currently have 225/60/15's and would like to keep the stock rims. I am interested in what you all have to say in regards to performance, wear, grip, noise, and response. Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to the board! Your question is a good one, but very general in nature. What type of driving are you going to be doing? Are you going to track the car? Are you an agressive driver? Are you going to be driving in rain or snow? How much do you want to spend? The Tire Rack has a great system for finding tires by asking related questions. You can spend a lot and get a sticky ultra high performance tire that will last only 10 - 15k, or you can spend a little and get a tire that will last 80k but not handle as well.

I like Toyos, Michelins, and on the low end Kuhmos. Hope this helps some and again welcome!

Thanks Big Daddy,
This a car my wife drives so it will not be tracked or driven hard. I have my corvette for that, lol. I am not looking to spend a ton of $$$ on it, but I want something dependable that won't upset the cars behavior and most importantly quiet. So I thought I'd get feedback from some of you who have different sets on your cars. I will check tire rack but in the meantime, any feedback from you guys would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Take a look at hankook's. I've honestly been VERY surprised at their tires.
