Falken Azenis FK520 245/35 R20 BMW 640d 15,000 miles October 29, 2026

Falken Azenis fk520 have been a great tyre, noise level is not intrusive and they give a good return on fuel economy. These tyres are very progressive and give good feed back. Having watched a back to back comparison with the Michelin PS4, the Falkens are punching way above their price range. If you want near PS4 performance at kumho prices, you won't go far wrong...will definitely try out the latest incarnation, Falken azenis R820 when the fk520's are done.

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport 245/35 R20 Audi S5 10,000 miles September 10, 2026

So far so good. These came in as OE in my audi s5. So I dont have experience with other tires in this car.

Still, the way I can turn my handles and not lose grip is impressive. I experienced minimal roll, I think the car also contributes a bit on this aspect.
When the tire is warmed up and is dry, I have much confidence to push.
I dont like to drive hard in the wet, so I cant say much on that part.

The wear is surprisingly not bad. Maybe its because I dont do track days.
I do push my tires/car time to time, launches and fast braking, driving in curvy mountain roads etc. But the treads seem quite ok at 16000km (~10000miles)

Comfort level, not so great, not so bad. But who would buy this tire expecting high comfort level right? At least its not destroying my butt, I am fine.

Would definitely buy again. But the price of these tires are quite through the roof in Korea at the moment. I really like these tires, but I will definitely try other brands for comparison as well.

Good tire for sure.

Nankang Sportnex AS2+ 245/35 R20 BMW 530d F11 21,000 miles August 10, 2026

I've been driving these tyres on my BMW 530d F11 2016 with 285/30-20 on the rears and 245/35-20 on the front.
Stage 1 tuned ~ 320hp & 650Nm.

For the starters, they are really good for daily driving.
My driving route is almost only highway and country road, yes I do some spirited/sporty driving time to time.
At very high speed you do feel that walls are bit soft, especially in the corners. Other then that, the overall grip is more than ok.
Been testing these on almost every conditions cold weather (except snow), summer, spring, fall and heavy rain weather.
The dry grip is good for commuting, as mentioned above they are bit soft at high speed.
The wet grip is one of the points were these tyres suprise me for the price. Been on roadtrip in Norway were the weather was raining constantly and on the serpentine roads while playing with other cars, the grip is actally good.
The handling and feedback is good as long you don't drive them hard.

Noise and consumption:
Noise wise, they are not super loud, still comfortable but they have tendency to "hum" a bit when they are worn out.
Consumption: the rolling resistance is a highlight, for commuting they are perfect. Consumption numbers with these has been a pleasure.

The downside is wear/tread life.
That is the only one is thing about these tyres that are big disappointment.
Manage to get out only ~ 35000km / 21700 miles and the rears are slick. And I only have them for 2 years. The front howevers have some life left, like 3-3,5mm maybe?
Since I have xDrive / AWD / 4WD, I have to replace all 4.
I do wheel alignment every 1-2 years depends on where I driving so I'm sure that the alignment is not the problem here. I do drive with 3 bars on the rears and 2.8 at the front since is a heavy car.

Maybe this is the price of buying a bit cheaper tyres but Nankang according to my research use to have good tread life in general.
Because of tread life, I'm not sure if I will buy these again but I've been happy with these in general for what it cost.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 245/35 R20 Porsche 718 Spyder 15,000 miles June 17, 2026
From day one, cold tyre has been a clear disappointment, with slipping and lack of breaking power and some oversteer, when heating up it has improved. would rate it ok for motorway and cruising, but not for Trackday (unless taking it slow) as it is a bit unforeseeable when coming to cornering on trackday.
it is though very comfortable for cruising, when it is getting a 2–3-year-old the slipping is getting uncomfortable.

Bridgestone Potenza S007 245/35 R20 BMW 850i 4,000 miles June 8, 2026
These tyres perform satisfactorily in the dry. They wear quicker than other tyres I have had. However today whilst driving at a reduced speed due to rainfall all 4 wheels lost contact with road surface due to water and I nearly crashed. I was driving in an extended following position and at a speed appropriate to the conditions like I have done so many times in similar cars on different tyres. I have now ordered a set of P Zeros despite the Bridgestone only having done 4000 miles. I want them off as soon as possible as thry are unsafe in heavy rain.

Hankook Winter i cept evo3 245/35 R20 Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TDI 200hp 4motion 12,000 miles March 2, 2026
This tyers on snow are the safest of them all, I felt confident on a highway in a snow storm. I was on the mountin where all others were with snowchains and I didnt have them and drove safely uphill or downhill. On the positive side is that this tyers are confortable and silent even at high speed on higway.

Triangle EffeXSport 245/35 R20 BMW 530e M Sport LCI 2021 26,500 miles January 23, 2026
A fantastic all round sportish tyre for the price. grips very well in dry and wet conditions, perfect for the summer and cooler months anything above 5 degrees the tyre will perform fine...road feedback and responsiveness not the best at all but it will do the job safely. poor on icey/frosty roads watch out for that and keep the ESC on for the bendy corners. badly affects consumption when worn out or down it will worn down if you are a sport/spirited driver. Max 26000km max.
