Tyres

Looks like I'll be needing new front tyres in the next 2 months or so.

Currently have Continental RFT fitted. Tbh I haven't found them to be that bad to drive on in any weather condition.

I'd like to stick with the RFT but not sure to get Continental again or look at either Goodyear or Michelin.

What do you guys recommend?

I suggest to look a Pirelli Cinturato RFT tires. These tires are much better than Bridgestone Potenza S001: less noise and harshness.

Go for the star marked Goodyears, don't drop the load rating from what BMW recommend.

Oh apologies, you can increase the rating, but not decrease below the rating supplied by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
