Michelin have have had a price increase in march and pulled quite a bit of dealer support so expect the price to start rising. As a mid range, i'd recommend kumho or hankook.
I'm hearing good things about them from various tyre dealers. As one said to me though, it's always going to be a jack of all trades and never a master of one! I guess it all depends what you want from a tyre.
If you want a tyre that's going to provide adequate grip in normal driving conditions...
whoever you used are not "specialists" if they didn't change the valves at time of fitting the tyres.
If the tyres not punctured & it's not a faulty valve then I suspect the tyre bead isn't seated properly. Tyre off, clean the inside of the rim, apply bead sealer and refit the tyre & re-...
Unrelated question but what level of BMW warranty do you have? Also, do you have the BMW roadside breakdown service? I'm going to put one on my wife's 320D after seeing the service you've received from it - although it's unfortunate you've had to use it as much as you have!
Lovely car, such a...
Tread carefully with tyreleader.
I work in the tyre trade and I'm hearing a few negative things. Some of the stuff that's turning up isn't Approved for Europe by the tyre manufacturer.
My my best mates the buying manager for Blackcircles, what do you want exactly mark and I'll get it sorted...
The label ratings on a budget tyre such as a landsail mean nothing at all.

Ive just replaced the front brakes on my partners 1 series.
BMW wanted £440, i replaced the discs/pads and sensor myself with pagid items for £103 from ECP.....

2. 2012 Jaguar XK R convertible which has covered 8000 miles - the local car wash have been at it and it has...
He probably hasn't claimed, my mates mrs was in a very minor bump a couple of months ago and she got a call of the 3rd parties insurance offering her £1000 compensation - she hadn't even claimed and wasn't injured!
I let my partner drive any car I've ever had. Warned her that the cup had no driver aids when i had it but she don't drive particularly quickly and was fine.
To my knowledge she's never damaged anything, if she did I'd probably be pissed off but accidents happen!
