Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 225-45-17 BMW 325d M Sport 5,000 miles March 27, 2026
I bought this tire to use as a winter tire in a mild climate and I've been very impressed. It doesn't feel much worse in terms of response and handling than my summer tires which are Goodyear Asymmetric 5's, in fact they have better traction in the rain than my summer tires which are worn and a few years old to be fair. My car has about 270hp and it puts all the power down in 2nd gear in damp conditions. Amazing tire all around that can be driven spiritedly with no issues and can also handle a bit of snow and ice as long as you're careful, which you have to be anyway with a dedicated winter tire.

Radar Dimax Winter 225-50-17 BMW 325d M Sport 2,000 miles January 7, 2026
Replaced 4y old goodyear ultragrip performace with these. Car is RWD BMW 325D.
First impession is really good. Tyres are extra extra quiet in all conditions ( dry, wet, snow). Noticed slight increase in fuel consumption.
last weekend was extra snowy, roads covered with snow, on my trip with alot steep hilclims on the road. I passed few stuck and strugglig cars and came to my destination with pleasent surprise...

Uniroyal RainSport 5 255-35-19- BMW 325d M Sport 650 miles March 18, 2025
Terrible tyre. There is no steering feedback, anything over 60mph you're constantly correcting the steering to keep it in a straight line- i went and had a 4 wheel alignment to check it wasn't out. Tyres still terrible.

The grip is also equally bad in wet and dry conditions. My car is breaking traction over taking on dual carridge ways and motorways. Pulling away isnt so bad but still not great.

Removed after 650 miles and taken a loss. Would rather fit acceleras

Vredestein Ultrac Pro 225-45-18- BMW 325d M Sport 3,000 miles March 27, 2024
Firstly, the Ultrac Pro is a sexy tire. The sidewall is designed by italodesign, and it really looks good. Dry grip (intermediate temps ~10-20°C) is very good. The car feels to have endless grip and you really feel comfortable pushing some twisty roads. Obviously, the warmer it got, the stickier the tire was. The Ultrac Pro seems to like temperature.
Wet grip is also very handsome. You really feel comfortable driving in heavy rain, and the grip is also very reassuring. Especially in the wet

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 235-45-18- BMW 325d M Sport 500 miles March 27, 2023
Very impressed with these so far; fitted to my 2015 BMW F31 touring I bought the car with OEM 19" alloys with RFTs. They were removed ASAP and sold; I then fitted OEM 18s with RFT winter tyres and they were a marked improvement over the 19s; a lot less tramlining and harsh ride etc... I've now fitted 235/45/18 Goodyear Assym6s to the car on 18x8 OEM alloys all round and the car now rides and handles superbly. Smoother, quieter and little to no tramlining at all unless it's a really bad road. The car rides over potholes much better (I still do my best to avoid them) and on the country roads that surround where I live; it's overall like a different car! I'll be fitting 18" non RFT winter tyres to the other set of 18s once I've had them refurbed; I'd never run RFTs again I can't comment on wear as haven't done enough & won't do enough miles to know unfortunately; but if you're after better, grippier (wet & dry) tyres that offer better comfort and a smoother/quieter ride; I'd highly recommend these. More so as I got them £250 cheaper than the Michelin PS5s, which is hell of a saving for a tyre that's nigh on neck n neck with the PS5s!

Rotalla RU01 S Pace 265-30-19- BMW 325d M Sport 30,000 miles January 12, 2022
They perform great, the price is great. I have had 2 full sets of these tyres now, my biggest issue? I have had 2 of these tyres delaminate! Both on rear tyres and over a year apart, 1 formed a huge bubble in the side wall and the side wall would deform dangerously under cornering, and 1 delaminated on the inner shoulder of the tyre exposing cords and steel belt, the overall wear on that tyre would never have suggested there was an issue. I really liked these tyres, for years. But with these incidents I cannot justify buying them anymore

Pirelli PZero Nero 255-35-19- BMW 325d M Sport 9,500 miles January 1, 2022
Great tire very grippy not as good as michelins in the wet,my only problem is I only went 9k miles on them I do drive very spiritually so some were is down to my driving but I expected little more life considering the cost.

Kumho Ecsta PS91 225-35-19-W BMW 325d M Sport 10 miles June 19, 2019
Having had the 245 section tyre on the back of a BMW for around 10,000 miles i finally needed new tyres on the front axle as well. The Rainsport 3's the Kumho PS91 have replaced were regarded as a good tyre and i didn't think anything was wrong with them while they were fitted but now i realise that the Kumho are a FAR SUPERIOR tyre to the Uniroyals.
The car is transformed in both comfort and grip, road feel has increased and the car now feels much lighter on the front axle with the set of four PS91's installed.
The rear tyres appear to be wearing well after 10,000 miles, i'm expecting to get that out of them again so i'll be happy with that.
If you were wondering what tyre to go for next, a set of these are superb in all conditions, even on some pretty shoddy British roads. They handle normal motorway miles very well, spirited driving and pulling out of junctions in a 310hp BMW with 620 NM of torque gives you no problems, highly recommend, hopefully Kumho continue to make these when i need another set.

Three A P606 255-35-18-W BMW 325d M Sport 8,000 miles October 14, 2018
Fitted to my 325d which is remapped to 270bhp. Massive amount of grip in the grip and wet. No problem trusting them when driving fast. Also they where a lot quieter than the run flats I removed. Would definitely buy again.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 225-45-17-V BMW 325d M Sport 300 miles June 27, 2017
Mounted these on my bmw 325d e90, the tire walls are too soft even when inflated at 3,0 bar. I have take them down and sold them as I could not live with them. I recommend buying goodyear asymmetrics instead
