BMW 330ci Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 90% (255-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 40000 spirited miles
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.

Writing about the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus given 79% (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
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.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza S007A given 70% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
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

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
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.

Writing about the Rotalla RU01 S Pace given 80% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
It was cheapest tyres of that size in my coutry. Usually I don't buy chinese tyres, but this was for my weekends car. And I was impressed of them! They balanced ok, grips good in dry and wet. Only disadvantages was that they stinked first month and they were noisy at first, but became quieter after few tousends km. But it's not those things in which you should look when buing cheapest tyres. Diven about 5000-10000km this summer, I think they will last at least 2-3 summers more.
I can't understand why spend 4-5 times more for famous brands or buy old, restored, repaired, damadged used tyres for the same price? Nowadays China makes phones better than western countries, so why they can't make a good tyre?

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
RWD BMW E46 - improved traction over summer tyres in snow and ice on a notoriously poor snow handling car. However day to day on dry and damp roads tyres have unexpectedly lost traction on the rear under moderate acceleration and recently under heavy braking tyres locked up far sooner than summer tyres which were progressive and extremely grippy (temperature range -4 to 7 degrees C). It's the law to put snow tyres on where I am but can't help thinking I'd have been safer not changing for these tyres. Won't buy again, will use the Dunlops I had before.

Very noisy tires. In wet they are dangerous and very poor performance. My BMW 330ci flashed all the time DSC light.

Have had these on my BMW 330ci, 225 40 18 and 255 35 18. Some of the reviews on here are actually laughable. These are decent tyres and quieter than Bridgestone. DSC light has yet to come on, lots of traction when the torque kicks in. Don't be put off by reviewers with front wheel drive cars, would recommend to RWD. Last set lasted 15,000 miles. Not bad for the value you get, and good wet weather grip.
