Should I get :
Conti M3's
or
Pirelli Pzero Nero
The Pirelli's are £28 dearer.............But is what ive got on the front for the sake of a matching set!!
Decided Pilot Sports are too expensive!!

How much are the tyres out of interest? Guess they will be a touch wider than mine

Different car but when I was looking for tyres it came down to those Pirellis or Michelin Pilot Sports.
After asking around and looking at reviews the Pirellis did not seem to last very long so went with the Michelins.
Would of gone through 2 pairs of Pirellis to the 1 pair of Michelins so was going to cost me more in the long run.

Ive got Pzero on the front just now & badly worn Pilot Sports on the back.
PS are meant to be the best tyre for the car, even more so than the conti's which are apparently taylored for the car.
Pzero's on the front seem ok, never lost grip or that but then again I dont drive it like a dick on the roads much to find out!!

It will vary from car to car, whats good for mine is prob no good for an M3. If Pirellis are highly rated/good reviews for the M3 go for them.
You on a BMW/M3 forum?

Not on any M3 forums. I tried to get on that Mtorque one but it said I was already registered & my other email addy was banned. I done the forgot password/email a new one thing & it didnt send me anything so I gave up
Is there any other good sites to join?? This is the only car forum I use pretty much, well this & a local VW one!!

I wouldn't get Pirellis, wear very quickly and not that good. Conti's are pretty soft too, but always come recommended.
Have you looked into Bridgestones?

I would say Bridgestone re050
Standard fit to a lot of new BMW's and seem to last well.
The conti's are soft as shit, with a wheel that wide I'll give you 5k max
And pirelli's aren;t much better

I get a lot of customer feedback fro my customers,
And not many people are impressed with conti's
Most manufacturers used to fit conti's as standard but most are moving away from them now.
