Best Tyres for the BMW 330d SE

I am really happy with these tyres, the way they grip and give confidence in all conditions is amazing. They are also comfortable and quiet when you just want to cruise. I can break traction with them in the wet in lower gears on my car, but they do so in a very predictable and controllable manner. My only slight gripe is that they tend to pick up small sharp stones which seem to get stuck easily into the rubber, so it would appear that the compound is quite soft. I have had no issues with wear however, 6000 miles in and they look almost like new on the rear despite some heavy right-footedness.

Unfortunate enough to buy full set of these tyres for 330D. On changing found original BMW wheels cracked-2 rear. Changed full set to 19 inch Rivas within weeks one rear tyre ripped and yet another wheel cracked. 6 months later MOT failed 2 cracked rear wheels. 1) Avoid 19 inch wheels 2) Avoid Bridgestone Run Flats 3) Avoid Riva brand so weak.
The road sound is unbelievable and despite the amount of rubber on the road I didn't feel too confident on grip especially wet.

I have been really pleased with these tyres. Previously I have always purchase premium tyres (Michellins; Continentals etc). These tyres do the job. The Continentals used to 'tram line'. These do not. The car (BMW33d) steers far better, and they are lasting much longer. I was very nervous about moving away from premium tyres, but am really pleased that I did. Road noise is probably higher, but they were a fraction of the price about 30%!), steer better & are lasting far longer.

I put a full set on a BMW 330d and was amazed, grip in both dry and wet was superb, obviously they are not the same as the expensive brands but for the price they did everything well. I covered 17000 miles and they looked hardly worn before I sold the car, wish I had kept them for my next one.

these have lasted 38,000 miles on a heavy BMW 330diesel,
(they are not totally out of tread, but i want new ones before the winter)
they tram line like no other tyre i have used, for that reason i shall not be buying them again, they are on the noisy side as well.

I drive 230km/h frequently and they are not too worn after 14000 miles of driving (German technical control check). Considering the price, I find them extremely good compared to my old Bridgestone Turanza ER300. Just like with the Bridgestone, drive slow in sharp bends/roundabouts when wet. Not had any problems on highways at any speed, but I've not tested bends in the wet at 230km/h (130km/h has been no problem on wet surface). The tires are a bit more noisy than Bridgestone at high speeds (not legal speed in most nations), and they are way better on snow once I had a surprise snowfall and even on black ice (I did however see many accidents of others' on that day). With Bridgestone I've experienced aquaplaning (sunny day with wet road in France) even when driving slow (80km/h), but that could be due to wear. So far, no such problems with Sunny (except slippery in roundabouts). Unless you're a racer on the wet, these tires are likely good enough for most drivers. I drive a BMW 330D.

I first bought Uniroyal's after reading reviews on this site and I haven't been disappointed. There was a massive improvement when Rain Experts were fitted to the front of my old Mondeo, replacing Pirelli P6000s which were under-steering badly in cold winter weather. My son's Polo now has a full set of Rain Experts and it feels very sure footed on wet roads. The previous Chinese budget tyres (on when we bought the car) were atrocious.
MY BMW 330d touring (estate) stuck to the road quite well on the supplied Pirelli P 6000s but suffered quite badly from steering wander/tramlining. A pair of Rain Sport 2 tyres fitted to the front made a dramatic improvement to the steering and also a noticeable improvement to the ride comfort.
As it's not possible to safely drive a car like this, close to the tyre limit, on a public road I can't comment on high end performance but with my previous experience of Uniroyal's I feel safer and expect them to last reasonably well. I'll report back if there are any major problems.
A lot of tyre shops don't stock Uniroyal's but most can get them if asked.

After a back breaking few months on Bridgestone potenzas RE050A(run flats)on my BMW 330d, I changed over to Rainsport 2 after one of my rear runflats got punctured. I did check with my insurance AVIVA and there was no problem as long as the sizes were as for the stock car. Immediately there was a massive improvement in comfort on the rainsports and nearly 8 months later, they are still very comfortable with less road noise. Road feedback was probably 20% down from the potenzas when new, but after a few weeks the feedback improved to an extent, still about 10% down compared to the potenzas. Grip in dry is as good as the potenzas, and clearly better in the wet, able to carry faster speeds through curving roads in the wet. They seem to be wearing well, but time will tell. Overall, very satisfied with purchase, used one of the online companies who fitted the tyres at home, good experience overall. Thinking of getting 4 new ones for my partner's ford focus if I can get a good deal on the net again.

Bought the ZV5's all round and have been very impressed, especially with the wear. I had Bridgestones on before these which on the rear lasted 12K miles where as the ZV5's have done 20K and even down the the legal limit give ok grip. They are a good price too (local dealer fully fitted price about £80 each) I would certainly buy these again.

They are okay in my opinion, but using them, i have already damaged a rim, I know this is my fault etc. but the protection on the Bridgestone RE050's that were on it last would have saved them.

Grip from a standstill isnt great - they regularly set the TC light going when starting on even slight hills. similarly accelerating hard into 2nd (40-ish) mph the light can still be flashing.

if the road is even a little damp they let go quite freely

They are quiet though which is nice, and i feel confident braking hard with them, they also dont feel like the side wall moves as much as the bridgestones i had on last but because i know how slippy they are while accelerating i dont feel confident to take some bends as quick as i would have on the old bridgestones
