    Hello there,

    would you give me an advice based on your experience, which summer tyre 205/55/16 would be best fit for my 98' BMW e46 2.0i. Its not awd, only rear wheel drive. I was looking into the likes of VREDESTEIN ULTRAC / DEBICA PRESTO HP2 which is available on the market in Bulgaria, but Debica seems to be really low-performing compared to other marks. Would you suggest something from the budget brands.

      I think the ultrac is a really solid tyre and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it
