Best Tyres for the BMW 330ci

For the last 10 years or so I have driven the Assymetrics 3, 4 and 5 and they were all great. So the 6 was a no brainer for me. The tire is perfect in all areas, except for the wear. Normally I drive 50.000 km easily on a set of tires. The 6 did 30.000 km and they were gone. Very disappointing. I now drive the Michelin PS5.

First time I bought mid range tire, and also Kumho. There was no review or whatsoever when I bought them. Purchase was based on very good reviews for PS71 and also didn't want to throw high amount of money for daily beater. But wanted good and safe tire. Considering 1350kg and 250hp car with RWD, I am very happy how the tire handles on dry and how stable it is. On wet I am amazed, there is steep uphill turn next to my house which I used to test wet grip. Not a single wheel spin or DSC flash during downpour. Aquaplaning tho, could be a bit better but then it wouldn't be mid class tire, would it? Comfort is good, I am happy, goes well over small potholes and speed bumps - doesn't eject your kidneys from spot. Comfort might be subjective because of stock suspension and well preserved seat foam thickness. Wear I can't tell yet because They did only 3000km cca. since April. Buy again? Yes, for daily beater, sure. Can't get better value for money at the moment.

Average tires really.
They perform decent enough on dry tarmac, but the grip is lackluster..
On wet the car likes to slide around, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for me, but the traction control goes in party mode if you leave it ON and if you are not careful.
They seem to hit the limit pretty fast when I'm pushing it on the curves or twisty roads. Doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence.
Tires were bought new, DOT 2023.
They are not bad as a budget tire, but you will be much well of by spending a bit and getting a decent set of Michelin's for example.
Have a set of Michelin summer tires that have started cracking, and are good for the bin and I swear they still have more traction that these.
Definitely won't cheap out next time..

I had these on my car for 6 years before they started cracking to the point of the tyres losing air. There was still a lot of tread left, but they had to be replaced for safety reasons. The grip was very good in both wet and dry, and they are surprisingly comfortable for what they are, max performance tyres. They're not as grippy as the pilot sport 4s or super sport, which is to be expected, but for strictly street driving, they're hard to fault. I have had various toyo proxes, hankook s1 evo, bridgestone RE040, RE050, goodyear eagle F1, and none of them comes close to the ps4, at least to me. None of them lasted as long, and the michelin ps4 was just better overall.

Excellent at snow and mud!! But not at all suitable for ice. My previous tyres Michelin Alpina 5 have much better grip on ice, but bad on snow. Dry road - perfect. Wet road and extreme braking - be careful and try do not overspeed. Comfort - acceptable but not for sport coupe with frameless doors, noisy for BMW 3 series. Wear, handling and road feedback for 18" tyres - good. After 2 years and 2 winters of wearing - condition is still perfect. Recommend for snowy roads without any doubts.

I'm usually go for mountain driving. - Way better dry grip than PS4. - Sidewall support are excellent, really fast steering response, gives you more confidence to throw the car into corners. - When driving normally in wet it feels safe but do not attempt to drive aggressively. - Dry drip loss a lot after around 2000km, oversteer occurs more frequently, but still easy to handle and feels safe. - wear out at 8000-9000km

BMW E30 330i Supercharged (about 260hp), 195/50 R15x7 Federal 595 rs-pro 200tw As a first semi slick i have tried, on a track day, they showed a lot better then a regular summer tire. They liked lower pressure, at the rear ive ran them at 1.9 bar at the end... I have really abused them, ive had a lot of oversteer and power drifted out of pretty much every corner exit at the end, even drifted several laps when the rain fell and they showed really consistent and have barely any wear... for a comparison, same track, less laps, hankook c52 slick tire took a beating and worse a whole lot, 1/3 was worn or even more. Regular nexen summer tire and toyo t1r were done for after one track day. Lap time with rs-pro was 3 sec worse then with HK C52, altho ive had too narrow rim for that c52 tire... Good dry grip, at the wet track they were good too, but i havent tried aquaplaning... car felt really predictable as those tires have really stiff and thick sidewall. At that price, i doubt they can be beat... however i havent tried other brands yet such as nankang ns2r... Noise is fine imo , as a daily and occasional track day its a great tire imo. Best of all, it seems to last long.

I've had 255 35 18 rears and 225 40 18 fronts for the past 5 years, going through two complete sets of rears and one set of fronts. Both front and rear are shortly in need of replacing. In that time I've covered about 25,000miles on a mix of motorway and Welsh winding A-roads.

I only gave these tyres a 7 for wet grip, it's actually closer to 7.5/10 or 8/10 for daily wet driving but I've had two really serious aquaplaning events which had there have been an oncoming car, I'd a-bin-a-gonner for sure. I was driving at 60mph, in the dark, on a bend and there was a flooded road stream crossing/flowing from left to right so I'm not sure that many tyres would have coped in those conditions. Maybe driver error not the tyre's fault.

Ok, enough of the negative! In the dry, 231bhp rear wheel drive is well under the threshold of these tyres. As you go from 7.5mm new depth to 3mm, the tyres just get better and better on steep bends. I'm now taking some of the bends at silly speeds (85, 90, 95). These give me more and more confidence every day to push it that little bit extra. My most enjoyable times have been versus Subaru Impreza 4x4 who I could not shift despite nearly reaching these tyre's limits. The second was me chasing an Audi quatro 3.0 v6 diesel. He couldn't shift me. Mid-Wales roads.

I first came to know about Infinity Ecomax through buying a set of wheels from a chap who had them fitted to his BMW 135M. He told me that they had served him well and there were no scare stories about the tyres. Having had quite a lot of experience with this brand and model, I can safely say that I would be advising friends and family to buy without hesitation.

I've just completed a mid-life BMW underbody refresh, replacing suspension parts, breaking system, hubs, barings, diff oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, power steering, coolant, engine oil. De-rust body panels, new paint where needed, brake lines and hoses, intake hoses and abs sensors all round. Finally, poly bushes on control arms, front and rear anti-roll bars (sway bars). The Ecomax fit perfectly with this car having previously had contisport 2 all round and Uniroyal rainsport 2. I wouldn't go back to spending big-bucks when these Infinity tyres are my tyre of choice from now-on.

Road noise more than bearable. General handling good, wet handling, ok, wear good, breaking dry - brilliant. Wet, dont know as I've never had to emergency brake in the wet. I did an emergency stop to test my new components and set-up on 15 May 2019, they were sublime in the dry. Obviously not just the tyres; the whole car of which the tyres are a major part! Thanks for reading.

I bought the dh2 all season tyres for my 330ci convertible and i cant fault them in anyway they last a pretty long time. They are great in all weather,They got me up some pretty steep hills when we had the snow earlier this year while other car was struggling, i will deninately buy these tyres again when im due a new set

I don't usually buy budget tyres, and the reason my car came to have these fitted is that they cam mounted to a set of used Alloy wheels which I bought.
These tyres are a hard compound, which means that grip in the dry is good, but grip in the wet suffers. They will not throw you off of the road like some of the worst budget tyres you can buy, but wet grip is well down compared to mid range or premium brands. When the temperature drops below around 10ºC the grip in wet conditions deteriorates further, and you have to be very careful on my my RWD car not to get the car sideways, even when being driven carefully with the traction control on. My advice would be to spend a bit extra and get a mid range tyre at the least, but if you are really strapped for cash there are worse tyres you can buy.
