New Tyres for my Z3
New Tyres for my Z3
Just Bought A Z3 And Absolutley Over The Moon With It. I Have 4 Good Tyres On It But Wandered If Anyone Reccommended Me Changing Them As The Wet, Cold And Icy Weather Is On The Way. Any Ideas Guys?
I recently put on Nokian WR winter-tires for the autumn i Sweden (I won't use the Z3 during winter due to the use of salt & sand on Swedish winter-roads.. 
), and they work perfectly.
Of course is it a bit slippery on icy parts since they don't have spikes. With the power of the Z3M I can put out the back whenever I like to and skip it whenever I don't (rarely happens.
).
If they wasn't so bloody expensive (my dealer doesn't have a great deal with them) I'd put on Bridgestone Blizzak. The best ever spike-less tire on icy roads.

General consensus of benchmark tyres
Goodyear Eagle F1 or Michelen Pilot Sport 2's, in sets only.

Pilot Sport 2s for me------
But as Stu said in sets only. Dont mix.
Sapphire black/Imola red and black interior/ red roof/ S54 - the only RHD one made.

Re: Pilot Sport 2s for me------
This winters first snow fell down tonight and I just had to take the car out for a spin. The Nokian tires did a excellent job in the 2 inches of snow. I don't know how much snow You get in UK, if any outside the highlands, but these tires are great on snow.
No problem to put out the back (is it ever a problem with 321hp?!?) but nice and steady when that's wanted.

Hi Caspar
We've had snow in UK today (up north) and I saw an MZ3 - in traffic!
Had the Z out in deepish snow before, but I live in a flat area, so no issues for me.
Worked in Sollentuna for a while a few years ago, so I realise how much better your mandatory winter tyres are than what we try to use over the winter.
