245/50 R19 Tyres

OEM tyres on a BMW X3. Ok performance in dry and wet conditions. Let down by poor tyre wear characteristics and vague handling.

Compared to the oem pirelli cinturato run flats, these are quieter, more comfortable, and have better grip in the dry and wet.

I installed the same tire model and size on both my BMW X3 and a NIO-produced electric vehicle. On dry epoxy flooring and concrete surfaces, these tires frequently experience tire skipping/slipping during foggy conditions or when reversing. I wouldn't have chosen these tires either - I deeply regret purchasing two sets for both my vehicles. They require significantly lower tire pressure to maintain adequate grip, and perform worse than the outdated Eagle F1 SUV tires that came standard on my X3. However, they are exceptionally energy-efficient - my onvo L60 achieves the same energy consumption as a Model Y.

These tyres are pretty amazing. I live in a place with equally wet and hot weather all year round. The price point for these premium brand tyres is the first thing that caught my eye. Following good online reviews, I decided to try it out. Dry grip is great on my SUV. Managing corners at relatively higher speeds had no issues. The harder side walls made handling the car stable. Steering and handling is responsive and sharp. Braking wise the tyres performed pretty well for the traffic I faced. In the wet weather, I encountered zero aquaplaning situations. The tyres performed exactly as what it was rated as. Of course driving in the rain would be more cautious and slower usually, but for me, it was not too much of a difference between wet and dry. The tyres felt pretty comfortable, however, I personally prefer stiffer suspensions and tyres as my driving style is slightly more aggressive. These tyres definitely felt better than the Alenzas I used which were extremely “bouncy”. Hopefully these tyres are as durable as stated. If it’s true, I’ll definitely buy again. Road noise wise it was pretty unnoticeable for my car. I guess it’s also dependent on how soundproof one’s car is.
The other tyre I was comparing it against with is the Giti P10. Might try that next.

When these tyres were fitted to my BMW X3 I could noise the difference straight away. The car was noticeably quieter at motorway speeds and handles lumps and bumps in the road much better. My previous tyre to this was a Pirelli P7 Run Flats.
These tyres are a much better all rounder. They don’t appear to be manufactured with the minimum tread wear indicators. The Michelins also come with 7mm tread when brand new. I would recommend these for our British climate.

These tires came on my 2024 BMW I7 xDrive60 that I ordered with 19” wheels. This is an all electric drive car for those who may not know. Honestly, on ribbon smooth, relatively newly paved roads, the tires are nearly silent. However, on a recent 1200 mile road trip to Northern California, when worn pavement surfaces were encountered, at highway speeds of 60 to 75mph, the tires absolutely ROARED, making the interior of this very luxurious sedan VERY uncomfortable. I’m not talking about hitting a “rough patch,” I’m talking about areas where the noise was constant for MILES on end! If I encountered such roads on a daily basis, I would immediately replace these tires with another brand. However, where I live in South Orange County, I rarely encounter such road surfaces. I believe that these tires were not fully vetted by BMW and should not have been chosen as standard equipment for this marvelously quiet sedan. BMW should have Pirelli or Continental produce a “bespoke,” ultra premium tire for this very special, ultra luxurious sedan of theirs.

Replaced original Michelins. Quieter, more comfortable and good all round performance. Wear has been good, currently at 3.8mm after 25k mikes.

Feeling good, though a bit numb. The price for a well rounded, very comfy tyre, that grips confident. No insecure feeling at all. But, of course, not for pushing it on the edge... remember, it's a touring tyre.
It is BMW OE equipment, I well consider to refit next time.

came on my 2021 X3 30i BMW, these are the most dangerous tires I have ever driven on on the highway. BMW should be ashamed of putting these on the X3 for sure. I have searched the internet to find out what the heck is wrong with my vehicle. Dealer says "VEHICLE DOES FOLLOW ROAD RUTTS. NORMAL" I am almost 70 years old and have never driven anything like this in my life and apparently I am not alone. check out these websites : https://www.carproblemzoo.com/bmw/x3/2021/steering-problems.php https://www.tirerack.com/survey/SurveyComments.jsp?&category=tire&additionalComments=y&commentStatus=P&tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Dueler+H%2FP+Sport+AS&fromTireDetail=true&partnum=45HR9HPSASXL&tirePageLocQty=%26partnum%3D45HR9HPSASXL In case I left any doubt, NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE TIRES

Absolutely shocking - I have had 7 of these tyres now in 18 months - all punctured. As a result I will never by a BMW again - nor will I buy a run flat tyre again.
