I don't claim to be a expert on tyre's but we pay a lot of money for these cars and to go for the cheaper option to me is a bad choice.

You mean that buying Izcheapo Ditchfinders is a less than good move. :blink:
.......and you are right. £800 on a £65k car is nothing. Even on a £28k used one it is still that way. Your/your family's life....priceless!

Hi Nine468 when I made the quote I was not referring to Toyos but Grumpywurzel's experience with Kumhos.

I bought my car with Bridgestone tyre's on and they grip like glue I will replace with the same.
I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do I'm no way near qualified to, but just voicing my opinion.

No offence taken...

You don't need to spend £800 to get a "good" set of tyres though.

My Bridgestone RFTs 20" were £880 a set fitted (£500 less than BMW quoted )
[/quote]
My * marked Michelin Pilot Super Sports 21" non-RFT's were just over £1200 fitted (£550 cheaper than BMW)

Re: tyres
I found this link in my bookmarks for some reason:
https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/ ... GwodUSwCIQ
Don't know anything about the manufacturer, but seem (too?!) cheap for a 20".
