Best Tyres for the BMW 320i Msport

I went from worn Continental Sport Contact 6 to new Bridgestone Potenza Sport and felt the improvement in comfort as soon as I drove out of the garage. I also noticed the Bridgestone looked chunkier on the wheels. They run wider on the wheels which give better rim protection but if you're running a modified set-up, bear this in mind if you're already close to the arch. I went from Continental with no arch rubbing to the same size Bridgestone with very slight rubbing. I used RO1 (Audi Quattro) spec tyres on my BMW and I later came across non-oe spec tyres and could see the sidewalls on the non-oe were more rounded so maybe I should have used non-oe tyres and would have got away with arch issues.
I also noticed the RO1 tyres had less tread depth than the non-oe or other brands. The RO1 tyres only came with 6mm new. Generally most brands come with around 7mm or more.
When I first put the tyres on, I took it easy for the first 500 miles. At around 500 miles I started testing them and was disappointed. The traction control light came on unexpectedly and when I wanted to put some power down they'd wheel spin. The was at the end of Autumn and beginning of Winter so the temp was around 10 degrees celsius. It was at 750 miles when the tyres transformed. Now they were great. Once they are warmed up they have no problem at 10c. Grip and handling is excellent even in the wet. But on lower temperatures around 3c they still lose traction plus if it's wet too then they feel unstable.
Bridgestone prices seem to be lower than other premium brands right now so my overall conclusion is try them if you're making a good saving. It's a decent tyre. If you live in a warm climate they'll be superb but in the UK just take it easy during the colder months.
It's difficult for me to judge the wear as I've only done 6k miles on them and am now taking them off as I'm going back to Continental to stop the arch rubbing. The Bridgestone still have 4.5mm tread depth after 6k miles.

I had these on the front of my rear wheel drive car for 3 years and 8 months and covered 21k miles. They came new with 7mm tread depth and still had 4mm left when I took them off. So I think that's very good wear for an UHP tyre. I've only taken them off as I've decided to change back to the original tyre size that my car came with.
I liked the way these tyres sat on the wheel (235/35/19 on a 8j wheel). The sidewalls were flat which I like (I don't like rounded sidewalls) and offered some curb protection. However you're never really going to be safe from the curbs with low profile tyres.
I've used multiple premium brands in my 26 years of driving and Goodyear have always been well balanced. I've used Eagle F1 Asymmetric 1, 2 and 3 in the past and they were very good. The Supersport once again were very good performers overall. I can't fault them in the warm and dry and I pushed them hard. In the cold and wet I can't recall any time when they let me down either. The only downside to the Supersport is they seem to be quite stiff because I could feel all the bumps in the road. The advantage to this was the steering was spot on.
I once had to hit the brakes to avoid a collision and although these did skid, they stopped the car just in time so I guess they did their job. That's what you pay premium brands for.
If choosing between Supersport and Asymmetric, I'd go with Asymmetric. For everyday driving the Asymmetric will be more comfortable. The only advantage I can see with the Supersport is if you plan to push your car hard.

I had an accident in the first rainy weather after buying the tires, you can completely lose control of the vehicle in the slightest puddle. The road holding is mediocre at high speeds, and you can also feel serious vibration and road noise. Also, it feels very hard on bumps and rough roads. I can't possibly buy such bad tires again after spending so much money. Unfortunately, the tire life is very long. I always drive the car in sport mode to get rid of them and wear them out as soon as possible, I will never buy a non-Michelin runflat tire again.

This is an end of life review for the first set of Continental MaxContact MC6's that I had fitted on the rear of my car, which have just come up below the legal limit for where I live (

In my 25 years of driving, I've tried every premium brand and various UHP models within each brand. I've also tried a few mid-range brands. Continental still remains my first choice as it's the only brand that has consistently never lost traction be it dry/wet or hot/cold. I've used Sport Contact 2, 3 and 5P in the past. They never let me down. These SC6 were just as good and surprisingly much better on wear. All previous SC's had a high wear rate and would normally wear out around 10k miles. All other premium brands would last longer. But somehow I've managed to get 23k miles out of the SC6 and still have 2.5mm remaining so it seems I'll get a few more thousand miles out of them until they reach the legal limit. This is the most I've ever got out of any tyre which baffles me as I wasn't expecting it.
Now that they are down to 2.5mm and Spring has started (UK), I can't comment on what they'd be like in Winter towards the end of their life but I suspect no summer tyre would be so great. This Winter just finished they still performed excellent at around 3mm.
The SC6 (non OE spec) sit nicely on the wheel (265 tyre on a 9j wheel). I don't like tyres that curve in on the shoulders, I like them to sit flat and flush with the wheel for a more square look and these do that. The wheel protection isn't great but being low profile tyres, it would be impossible not to destroy the wheel anyway.
I believe the SC6 is only available in rim sizes of 19 inch and above so it gives you a good feeling that you've got something that isn't available to everyone.
Going forward, if I was to buy any tyre to replace these right now, I'd buy the newer SC7 to try out. It depends what you're looking for, I'm going by handling and grip performance. But if you're looking for the better value for money then there are other brands with good performance for example the Goodyear Eagle F1 (I've used Asymmetric 1, 2 and 3). Michelin, Bridgestone and Pirelli were also well balanced so from my experience you can't really go wrong with any premium brand if you drive according to the weather conditions. The only one I wouldn't buy again is Dunlop (I tried SportMaxx GT and RT) as they were terrible in the wet and cold.

Great tyres. I've used Pzero Nero and Pzero in the past and these PZ4 are better. These gave me confidence to go faster. I had the HN spec tyres. I found the sidewalls a bit stiff so they weren't that comfortable but as a result the handling was better. Also the side wall in this HN spec curve in a lot which I didn't like but they still had a rim protector. Overall I enjoyed thrashing my car with these. One downside is they started cracking inbetween the tread when I still had 5mm on them. They had been on my car for 2 years and 10k miles. Upon inspection of the manufacture date, they were just over 4 years old so I wouldn't expect them to crack so soon. I wouldn't buy these again as I never buy the same tyre twice, I always like to try something new. But I would recommend these to others if the price is right and the manufacture date is no older than 2 years.

I have used Asymmetric and Asymmetric 2 in the past and never been disappointed so therefore I purchased the Asymmetric 3 without a second thought. They've been on my car for 1 year and 9 months and I average around 8k miles a year and they still have around 5mm tread all around. For me this is impressive as normally I go through rear tyres (rear wheel drive) on a yearly basis. I would highly recommend these if you're looking for a mileage tyre and a good all rounder. I can only recall loss of traction on 3 occasions in almost 2 years and this was only in the cold. You cannot go wrong with these tyres. They are comfortable and Goodyear pricing is very reasonable compared to the other premium brands. Continental is still my favourite brand but this is purely based on grip but Goodyear beats it in everything else. In my 21 years of driving and being a wheel whore, I have used all the premium brands and many mid-range brands. If I was to make a sensible recommendation, I would recommend these every time.

Those are the worst an dangerous tires ive ever put on my car... Highway driving is ok on a dry day till I hit a curve the car Wobbles have to correct the steering just to hold my line like I'm trying to drift..had the traction control light turning at crusing speed. Had to return them in less than 48 hours after buying them, an spend a bit more for a well know brand... tires seem flat an the firewalls are too soft... These tires a cheap for a reason if u value your life and your family stay well clear of them

My brother used to swear by the older Sessanta on his car so I thought I'd give these newer Vorti a try. I used these on a rear wheel drive car. The side wall looks good, offers lip protection and is not rounded like some other brands. I only had them on the car for 8 months then sold my wheels with the tyres on. After 8 months and about 7000 miles they still had 6-7mm on them so wear rate looks very good. I can't fault them. I never lost traction in both the wet and dry. I put Goodyear on my new wheels and the Goodyear give a smoother, quieter and more comfortable ride. The Goodyear aren't expensive so I prefer them but if the Vredestein come up at a good price in future I would consider them again.

I used these on the front of a rear wheel drive car (rears were a different brand). I like the way these sit on the wheel. The side wall was straight and flush with the wheel instead of rounded like some other brands. I only had them on the car for 8 months (so can't comment on wear) then sold my wheels with the tyres on. Everything about them was good. Although my previous Continental gave me better confidence in the wet, the Yokohama didn't slip or slide either. In the dry they felt better than the Continental so not worth paying the premium price for Continental. I put Goodyear on my new wheels and the Goodyear give a smoother, quieter and more comfortable ride as well as better steering response. The Goodyear aren't as expensive as Continental so if the Goodyear and Yokohama are a similar price I would go for Goodyear. All in all if the Yokohama come up at a good price in future I would definitely buy them again. I've had a good experience with some older Yokohama pattern years ago too.
