1991 E34 520iA with 15 inch alloy rims and 195/65 tires.

Just coming to the end of the four Pirelli P6000's that were on the car when I bought it. They have performed well in the dry, average in the wet and have lasted well. Rears did 15k on the front and 25k on the back. Fronts did 25k.

What should I replace them with? Same again or is there a better value / performance tire I should consider. My driving is 70% freeway and I don't push the cars handling on a regular basis.

Thanks.

You don't mention whether you live in an area with snow but because you don't drive aggressively I would recommend the Dunlop SP5000 in either the 195/65R15 or the 205/60R15. They will last longer than the P6000 and they will be better handling in the wet with a better ride quality.
If I can help let me know. Thank you
