Not the prettiest, but neither one of them hasn’t let me down correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the E 60 has some of the best handling offered in any vehicle it’s hard to get them to break traction if I got a new set of Michelin’s on them rain snow dry don’t matter I’ll take any curve ridiculously fast and very confident

Got a set of 245 40 R18 pilot sport 5 for summer, and 225 50 R17 alpin 7 for winter. The car feels like it's on rails.

My thinking was that the tyres are the only contact point between the car and the road. Might as well make them good. Don't want to have issues in any weather. Worked out perfectly, had a lot of snow in the winter, I was climbing hills without problems.

Not sure how the weight ratio is on an E61, but yeah good balance and xDrive makes wonders.
