I've been using many other budget tyres in the past. Normally others would last for about a year on my BMW as we drive more than the average. The EcoSport 2 might not be the best in the rain or in fuel economy but it's definitely a compound that last longer than similar budget rubber. In my case I managed to get around 5k miles out of these which makes this the best budget tyre to me.

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.

What BMW 330 Ci Sport drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Compared to the previous model the asym 5. The asym 6 feels like a comfort tyre. It is very soft and makes the ride feel very bouncy and not stable at speeds above 150km/h. The rear tyres are half worn after 8000km of road driving (no track, once in a while spirited driving) Nontheless inr rain or wet conditions very very good, though the asym 5 is near identical. All in all the previous model is a better buy regrading feedback, tyre wear and worse in the comfort department.
Absolute death trap in the wet. These things should be banned. The rear of my car swapped ends on me in the wet going around a corner at dead set half the speed I could do on a decent tyre. Holy F they are horrible.
If you love to drive on curvy roads then this tires is not for you!!! Very bad grip in corners and it gets worst if the asphalt is just wet. Poor braking on dry and wet as well. The good thing is very low noise and soft feeling. So as for comfort I give 10 points. Anyway I will not buy this again in any circumstances because I don`t feel safe at all.
Swapped from other low budget General Altimax Sport 225/40 R18 + 255/35 R18 and I would say General is real sport tires compare to Kleber Dynaxer UHP.
I've covered 13000 miles with these tyres and still loads of tread left however the rears are about finished on the insides due to slight rear camber.excellent tyre considering the power and weight that goes through them
Purchased 4 of these tires for my '05 BMW 330CI ZHP in 255/35/18 *4 (I put two rear wheels on the front to get a more equal handling characteristic at high speeds), In dry, handling is excellent, not enough room to test it out at it's limits (traffic) but it's relatively good traction in 270 degree on ramps. in the rain, night and day. The car 'floats' with any water on the concrete at highway speeds. If you consider speeding in the rain, all 4's are going to put the car into a flat spin and you're going for a ride. For those out there that 'know' when your car is right at it's traction limit, you will be lucky to travel 70MPH in a 70 zone with these tires in the rain on concrete. Asphalt is a little different, better traction but you can still feel it get loose a little over 70.
I purchased these tires because they were supposed to have great handling in dry and wet, dry is good, not great, wet is a skating rink.
Very silent, car feels les road imperfections compared to pirelli p7, but comfort comes at a price of handling, steering feedback. Feels like 1 inch smaller in diameter to be honest. Grip is there, tyres are safe, but not high performance.
At this price they are unbeatable, but would consider them as touring tyres, not high performance ones.
This is initial review, will update my thougts after a few more thousands miles
I was pleasantly surprised with these tyres. They came to me ready fitted to a set of alloys which I bought for my car and I was fully expecting them to be a typical ditchfinder budget tyre, especially on the rear of a powerful RWD car. They are not anything of the sort and they actually perform really well in most conditions. The only time they suffer slightly is in cold damp conditions, but being a summer tyre this might be expected.
I would certainly buy them again., It would be daft to say they are as good in all areas as most poremium tyres, but at less than half the price they are excellent value. Wear rate is also very good even after hard driving.

The tyres are not good on snow. They are ok on the dry and on the wet.
Put to test 235/35 and 245/35 R19 Star Performer tyres. Indeed, very similar to Nankang NS-2.
Very great looking V shark tread, rim edge with protection lip, nice smooth. Stretches well.
Dry grip excellent, can't complain. Wet grip is pretty ok, could be little better... but for this price it's great.
