BMW 3 Series Tyres

Hello Vishnu,

The two tyres that you should consider are :

1. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ST- It is a high performance tyre and offers superior traction, excellent handling,  very responsive braking  and long tread life because of special Le Mans inspired tread compound. 

2. Continental ContiSportContact 5 -  The tread compound and design of this tyre makes it perform better than Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ST in terms of handling, traction and braking. It is basically an Ultra High Performance tyre, hence the exceptionally good performance. But while it has better tread life than other UHP tyres, it isn't as long as Michelin Pilot Sport 3 ST's

So, unless you take your BMW to a sports track to extract every bit of performance, I would suggest that Michelin would offer a great combination of performance and long tread life.

However, if you want exceptionally good performance and can compromise on tread life then Continental is a very good option.

Hope that helps.

Hello Satyajit,

I don't think there is any need to upsize to 215. 205 itself is quite a wide tyre. So best is to stick with it.

Yokohama AVS DB V550 would be a pretty good tyre to begin with. If you want something even better then go for Bridgestone Turanza GR90 .

However, if you are looking at an economical option then go for Bridgestone MY02 sporty styletyre.
