BMW 335d Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 86% (255-30-19-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 33000 average miles
Straight away felt the difference after having them installed. As someone who has had multiple track cars and still ride 1000cc track bikes I think I'm in a good position to say that these tyres have a very good dry grip. Very confidence inspiring and had 100% trust in the tyres when pushing on. Wet grip is very good also, never once felt like I couldn't press on in the wet. Surprisingly they also perform pretty well in the snow! An all round great tyre and very well priced!

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 given 53% (225-40-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
I came from a set of Michelin PS4S in a staggered 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 setup on a 2015 F31 335d which met their untimely demise on a pothole. I replaced the full set with these through BMW as it was convenient at the time (council was paying). I'm running a 300bhp diesel estate which got about 10k from the rear PS4S's (down to about 1mm) with the fronts still at 4.5mm, with 50/50 trunk and twisty country roads with a little weight in the back. Even with uprated pads in the 370mm brakes I still run out of brakes so I do drive hard, but while some complain that the X drive chassis understeers I never found it with the Michelins. However, with the Pirellis, like all other Pirelli's performance tyres I've used over the years across a number of cars, they don't turn in with any precision. On dry roads they do turn in but are woolly, and on wet roads they actually glide quite readily on turn in to the point where I'm a gear down on normal and turning in 2-3m earlier at 60mph just to get the front to bite where you want to - on Michelins this just isn't the case. And of course because you're having to be more aggressive at the front this then swings the back around more aggressively too. Understeer on corner entry leads to oversteer on exit if you're using the power to get the car turned through the corner effectively. The upshot of this is that in the wet the car feels unstable on these tyres, and braking performance is reduced too with very heavy braking triggering the ABS way more than I have been used to on this car in the last 60k miles. If all of this was only at 10/10ths driving then they could be forgiven but they're not. They're unimpressive, uninspiring and lacking in confidence across the breadth of metrics. They don't even wear well (unlike the also underwhelming OEM Bridgestone S001's which at least lasted to 30k miles on my car), as at 5k miles the rear tyres are down below 4mm. Very poor tyres and I suspect will be replaced after the winter (I use separate winters) rather than put back on until they're worn out. Another fail for damp and greasy British roads from Pirelli.

Incredibly loud tyres, rumbling since the first kilometer. Driving experience rather spongy but comfortably soft

Writing about the Kumho WinterCraft WS71 given 52% (225-45-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 6000 average miles
These have been on for 2 winters, swapping them out with summer tyre's each year.

The driving has been family car usage, on a mixture of motorway and town and country roads.

You knew when using them that they were designed for winter usage, functional with limitations of that design.

The reason I wanted to input the review for them was down the fact that they have only lasted 2 seasons, they have 5.3 mm tread left on the lowest level, however the side walls on 3 of them have cracked or split in several places which I did not expect to occur on a tyre that has just reached 3 years old. If you have these tyres please give them a regular once over.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Really, really good tyres 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear. Dry grip is really good, in high speed turns the cat is very stable. Wet grip is also incredible. The comfort is really nice for such a UUHP tyre. I've been driving them since 1500km. and I'm very happy.

Driving on mostly motorways for 200 easy going miles
Bought a set of wheels after I shattered one of mine, came with these lovely sporty looking ditchfinders on. Car spins in every gear...in the dry, drove it for the first time in the wet yesterday, and I've honestly never been so scared to tap the throttle, literally uncontrollable. Aqua planed on the smallest of puddles. These are not the "high performance" tyres they're advertised as, my car is running some decent power, so finding tyres that don't spin is hard...but I would NOT risk putting these on any car... The only thing these tyres are good for is doing donuts in a maccies car park. will be getting som rainsport 5s back on ASAP

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 Plus given 87% (225-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
I switched to Primacy 4+ from Pilot Sport 4 so I am sharing my experience as a comparison between the two on the same car. The main difference in normal everyday driving is the steering feel. Primacy 4+ is noticeably slower in reactions to steering inputs - it feels less eager to change direction. It makes the car feel generally less agile and does not encourage spirited driving like Pilot sport 4 does. When increased lock is applied there is a signifficantly more progressive centering force with Primacy 4+. I find this most welcome on a BMW F31 with its otherwise quite light steering. The effect is more natural and authentic than the car’s sport mode steering feel (which just makes the wheel unnaturaly heavier). The result is a superior sense of stability at all speeds. Less focus and precision is required to make smooth progress, and high-speed driving is signifficantly more relaxed with Primacy 4. The difference in confidence is further increased in wet. I don’t hear any significant difference in interior tyre noise on smooth roads but bumps, potholes, and protruding manhole covers are better smoothed-over and less annoying with Primacy. For spirited driving the Primacy 4+ is not. When pushed harder it just all starts giving in where the Pilot Sport starts to shine. There still is respectable cornering grip with Primacy 4 and traction is more than adequate but you can tell the tyres are fighting and there is no reward when pushed hard. My decision to switch from Pilot Sport to Primacy was based on the fact that I have very few daily opportunities for spirited driving. So 95% of the time I am very happy with my decision while the remaining 5% is also dialled back a little and everything is fine. If I had a second car just for fun it would be fitted with Pilot Sport (S), no doubt.

very good rim protection, very precise steering feel, good comfort and low noise. compared to the hankook ventus evo 3, where the direction of the car was much more vague.

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero Runflat given 79% (225-40-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
They were fitted on my F30 335d xdrive when I bought it. BMW approved with star. Great tires with good enough wear for mine spirited driving. Had only one scary aquaplaning moment on motorway at high speeds, but that was in really heavy rain. Otherwise very good grip especially in dry. Only “downfall “ I have is that I hit deeper pothole and from tire split near the rim and had to replaced both front ones. Few months later while driving on motorway and changing lanes my rear tires got cut on the Cat eyes reflectors . But still car stayed stable and I kept driving for another 60 km with no air at 100km/h. I’m on my second set of Pirelli’s and they’re my num1 choice, especially for bmw with factory msport suspension, they make car handle beautifully.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S given 93% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 400 spirited miles
Coming from runflat tires these are like night and day difference they give much better feedback through the steering wheel the front and feels more planted and the best of all when you go over put all you don’t feel like your teeth are going to be knocked out they do take care of the pumps in the stride. As soon as my rear tires get low I will be putting these on my back as well I have these fitted to the front of my 335D they came with runflat tires are standard What sounds like they’re good idea but they’re really uncomfortable and every time we have a pothole it feels like you’re smashing the room compare to these they take it in their stride front and feels planted give me much more confidence people have been advising me to get these times for a long time I can see why if your BMW owner I can hundred percent recommend these tires dry and wet weather.
