    Hello,

    The rear tyres on my 3 series are getting close to the legal minimum.

    Not having space for a spare, I need to replace them.
    Currently, they are firestones.

    before this, I used contis. What are a good brand to replace them with and where can I get them?

    Goodyear either the Eagle F1 AS3 or Efficient Grip would be my choice but they are not cheap in run flat version.

    We replaced the four Falken non-RFTs on our F30 with Bridgestone S001 RFTs last year. Not cheap at 200 a corner though.

    I found that the Conti RFTs previously fitted became very noisy as they wore down, lasted well though. Don't think the Bridgestones will last quite as long but seem to be wearing very evenly so far (had the tracking done on fitting).
