Tyres on M sport GranCoupe / UK
Do we know what tyres the UK 640d M Sport GC are usually delivered on?
Hoping they are Pirelli P Zeroes but suspect they come on Dunlops and Michelins Thanks.

The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT has such average reviews across all the review sites - lots of references to poor performance (compared to the Pirellis) on wet and snow surfaces. Its a tire designed to be all-round and run longer (30,000 miles) but doesnt have some one the excitement from the Pirelli PZeroes
Wondering if i can swap them at my dealer? Any thoughts from folks who have run these tires for a while? Especially those who have run high-performance Pirellis? Thanks god these are not Goodyear or Contis!!!

I'm sure your dealer will be amenable, but you may have to pay dealer prices for the replacements. The cheaper route would be to supply your own replacements and sell yours privately. Given the cost new, I think you'd not have much trouble getting a fair chunk of your money back. Last edited by Mentos; 09-17-2013 at 05:15 AM.. Reason: . |

Here in Canada, Dunlop is on regular 6ers.
Michelin is only for m6.
