BMW 218d Active Tourer Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Accelera PHI given 23% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 average miles
I really am not sure what the people giving positive reviews of these tyres are thinking, but I had four brand new ones for the dealer. I have zero confidence in these tyres to deal with anything other than the most mundane driving. Straight line at 30 miles an hour in the dry, you'll be fine. I have found in the wet under even the slightest acceleration the front end is squirming around, cross a road marking or white line and they seem to just aquaplain over it, even if it's dry. When alone in the car I decided to test them out, you need to know what your tyres can get you out of and within 1 minute had managed to get the back end out, accelerating out of bend at 10mph. Having just come out of a 2018 C-Class coupe, so far I am not enjoying the BMW driving experience and I can only think this is down to the tyres, shockingly bad. With the winter coming up I will be switching these up for something more reliable. Regardless of the drivers saying 'don't race' as if that's a way to make the tyres safe - I don't race - you need to know that if you need to accelerate away quickly, brake sharply or need to get yourself out of danger another way, that the tyres are going to let you down. Zero confidence in these to do that.

Driving on a combination of roads for 65000 easy going miles
Did more than 65000 km with them at four years. Quite stale tyre. Good wear resistance. Not so good on wet surface but never had aquaplaning

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT given 66% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6500 spirited miles
Came with the car and I haven't tried any other set so can't compare, but the tyres give me good driving confidence overall. I would say that they tend to wash out a tad on the limit when cornering, but grip has been consistently decent. Being runflats, comfort is quite compromised (hence why I can't wait to swap them for regulars), while there is some tyre noise of a strange frequency at about 70 mph.

Driving on a combination of roads for 19000 average miles
I never had problems on performance but the wear is way to high. Only 30.000 km. Never had such a low durability on Michelin Pilot Sport 3 / Vredestein Sportac 5 / Pirelli PZero / Uniroyal(don't remember the model) / Goodyear (don't remember the model) If you don't care about your money and environement maybe I could recommend them.

Writing about the Achilles Winter 101 X given 88% (205-60-16-H)
Driving on mostly town for 3000 average miles
Last winter i bought a new car and i was a bit late for buying winter tires. I had ordered premium tires online, which never arrived. Not knowing if I would get the money back, I decided to buy cheap tires and the choice was simple. I bought again the Achilles Winter 101x that I had already been able to appreciate on my Golf, this time in the XL version. I am very satisfied with my purchase, the XL version makes driving more precise and sporty. On the snow the traction is really good, and even in the wet the sense of safety is constant. The noise level is low, but the fuel consumption increases a bit, as can be expected.

Writing about the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 given 50% (265-30-19-W)
Driving on mostly town for 15000 spirited miles
Dry weather was decently grippy. Wet weather seemed fine as well but I didn’t really have a chance to really try the tires in the wet weather. Wear was shockingly fast. Bought a used car with these tyres on. Had checked the tires thread wear beforehand. Was still meaty. After nearly 3 weeks of 50% city 50% spirited driving, was shocked to find the tires worn to the thread walls possibly due to my wheels not aligned properly/camber was not right. But 3 weeks worn out is too fast even with that reason. Distance covered is merely 1500kms at most.

Driving on mostly town for 9000 easy going miles
I have a BMW 228i convertible, I drive the vehicle in eco mode 90% of the time but i'm only getting less than 10000km on a pair. Uneven wear, I'm very disappointed with the brand.
