840 new tyre choice

Greetings…..need to start thinking about new boots for my 840….currently on the Pilot Sport it came with. Not bothered about run flats (although from my experience the negativity about them is far worse than they really are in the real world).

I don’t drive like I stole it so being ultra sticky not an issue, and want something decent with a good life span and all year capability.

Any thoughts welcome.

Pilot sport 4 season have been amazing on my non performance rides. I have 30k on a set and no issues at all. I'm just not sure if they make size to fit the 840i.

Curious - how many miles have you done on your Pilot Sport tyres and will you be replacing all four?

I have the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 - and have had no issues in heavy rain and they are quiet (as can be given the state of our roads).

Agree with you on run flats.

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 will be what I put on, once the Potenza S007’s are ready for replacement (hoping that is soon weirdly, as I hate them!)

I’m the second owner and just passed 20,000 miles, assume they are fitted from new.

Still plenty meat left on all of them but would prefer a new set for winter…..

Stick with the Michelin Pilot Sport 3ZP. Good tire and you get the runflat protection.
