I had to change tyres for my 5 series last month. I went with Dunlop (not runflat) and can feel a marked improvement in the ride quality over the run flats.
Had a set of Toyo tires before on my honda jazz. Very satisfied with it. Lasted 6-7 years since low mileage lang yung car and never had any problems.
I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
Toyo proxes sent me into a wall in the rain. 10/10 tire
my usual go to reccomendation for "an tyre" are Toyo proxes comfort at this moment in time, good levels of grip and they wear well for a mid range tyre
Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.
I buy Toyo Proxes. They're ~$110/tire in my car's size and last 2-3 years (18,000-27,000 miles give or take).
I got about 22,000 miles out of them. I never had any problems with grip, but they did wear out fast.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.
