What's your most favourite summer tyres for F10 M5?

While maintaining 20inch/Run Flat, what is the best performance tyre that works really great with F10 M5?

eleven11 · 09-22-2014, 06:35 PM

Run-flat? I don't know many here who use run-flat tires on their M5. In terms of non-runflat, the Michelin Pilot Super Sport are considered the best.

run flat will effect performance a lot

gblansten · 09-22-2014, 06:53 PM

Do 20" runflats even exist for the M5?

Never heard of anything like this!
Will ruin most of the experience for you
They are downright horrible tires
Had them on F10 550i and car had numb feeling

Tire Rack only has the world's greatest summer tire ergo Michelin PSS and the decrepit Pirelli Pzero. Neither are runflats, of course.

Hmmm, I must be mistaken somewhere. I'll recheck and get back to this thread later. Thanks for all the input.

I hope your dealer didn't tell you that they use run-flat on the m5 so they can charge you $1000/tire. PSS is the best all around summer tire I have had so far.

M5 doesnt come with run flats. (thank god).. Michelin tires are the best. The one thing I realize of the michelins is that they only grip better when they are warmed up. Still my favorite tires by miles. Worst tire is the pirelli

MPSS; nothing comes close for all round performance on the M5.

Stash21 · 09-23-2014, 10:09 AM

Pss.

Apparently, for those who don't know, BMW now uses two kinds of OEM tires for the M5 and M6.

Either you get the Michelin Pilot Super Sport

OR

Something from Continental.....although I'm not sure what variant (could it be DWS?)

It's Perelli P-Zero's. They have good grip but their treadwear rating is not nearly as good as the Michelins.

FYI, on my 500RWHP M3 I have Hankook RS-3s (gen2, latest gen) and they have great grip too.
On the rear of my M5 I have Nitto NT05's which are really, really good but require to be heated up for good traction and they are not to be used in wet.
