My 2003 525 arrived with Pirelli tyres on it (225/55R16 95V). I'm told they are hellishly expensive, although its hard to get a definite price, online at least.
Have visited one local seller that's keen on selling me Hankook K114 tyres at $242 each, fitted and balanced.He reckons they're pretty good tyres etc.etc.
Any opinions appreciated while i wait for other places to open tommorow.I do lots of miles (40k a year) and have a definite lean towards safety over performance.
Want good safe handling and braking in the wet.(as it seems to piss down up here a lot! :)Dont mind spending that $242 if the tyres are worth it, would spend a bit more if advice suggests I should.
Cheers

I got ATR Achilles Sports on my 2004 Legacy GT.
Wet grip is great. Noisyish (but not crazy for a low profiles) Dunno about wear yet but they seem to be good.
Online reviews indicate they're no good in snow.

Different sizes!
EDIT: Oh, I see what you're saying. Probably a typo.
