Friend anxious to replace the tyres of his 1995 BMW 320i with grippiest available. Having driven it on a wet road recently I can understand why. Any suggestions appreciated based on knowledge/experience. Cheers

I did once read somewhere in a BMW mag that Toyo tyres are prefered for many BMW's because of their superb grip on the roads at any condition.

Alas no traction control on this one thus the need for ultimate grip. I will tell him about the Toyo and Pilots suggestions tomorrow. Thanks

May well be worth considering winter tyres for this car, especially as we're coming into winter.

Doesn't need to be freezing, they're better than ordinary tyres below about 7C. Also their open tread pattern and softer compound makes them better in the wet year round.
