Excellent, so its a set of Hifly's then

You get what you pay for

If only you got what you payed for all the time .................


Although HiFlys might well be the worst tyres available or re-badged decent ones.

I can vouch for the Vredestein wintrac extremes - excellent. Haven't tried many of the others certainly not hifly

Sorry to hijack somewhat but in a similar vain, I am also looking for new tyres on my E63 Estate. I was wondering what your thoughts would be on 'all seasons' rather than winters on an E63? The manual only covers summer/winter options and states that I can fit 255/35/19 winter tyres all round but no mention of what to do with all seasons. My summer tyre sizes are 285/30/19 rear and 255/35/19 front.

In terms of all seasons, I have only found one manufacturer that does them in a 255/35/19 tyre size and that is the Vredestein Quatrac 5. I have not found any all season tyres at 285/30/19 so if I wanted to fit that tyre size, I have to fit winters which for me living in the south is probably unnecessary.

I am also not sure what a 255 wide tyre will be like on a 9.5" wide rear wheel, there cannot be much overlap!

I am trying to avoid buying 18" wheels for my E63 hence looking at all seasons as a compromise.

Cheers.
