Please can anyone confirm to me the original tyres fitted to a 1999 E36 M3 Evo Convertable. I believe it was Mitchlin Pilot Sport as that is what I have un-used in the boot. But the spare wheel is the same size as the front so I recon that the fronts are Mitchlin Pilot Sports but I am not sure what Mitchlin tyres were used on the rear??? Any help would be great as I would like to put the original tyres back on. Oh and by the way if you know were I can get them cheaper from that will be a bonus as I need 4.

Tristan, Pilot Sports all round, they are not the cheapest, but probably best all round tyre, be careful when ordering tyres on-line maybe cheaper than local man but when you add-on fitting , valves and balancing after you get them the price soon goes up, the price you get from local dealer normally includes all this, if not, haggle. ------------- 1990 black sport evo- Now Sold 1988 325i touring ( written off ) 2002 ZM Coupe, hamann styling 328i touring ( '95 ) |

Michlin have now brought out a new improved Pilot Sport with asymetric tread. Don't look as good as the old ones, but they are supposed to be the puppies privates. Just replace the rears - will let you know ... ------------- Tony.

| The original wheels sizes were Front 7 X 17 Rear 7 X 17 or optional rears 8 X 17 but the spare should be 7 X 17 as the wider wheel shoul not be fitted to the front. Tyres were Michlin Pilot Sport |
