Best Tyres for the BMW 335i

I don't think I'm qualified to give dry, wet, and in general, handling characteristics as this is my first performance tyre. I will mention that during heavier rainfall, I did have a few worrying moments of aquaplaning within the speed limit, however, this was during our stormier and wetter seasons. Generally, the tyre does feel grippy on dry and wet roads but I wouldn't say that it is confidence inspiring. Wear can be a little bit weird for sportier drivers. I do find that the outer tread does seem to wear much quicker but weirdly I only experienced it on the front right side. I did take my car in to have the tyres inspected and they weren't able to deduce exactly why except from a possible misalignment. Is that the fault of the tyre? Possibly not, however, seeing reviews on this did not make me feel confident about the general wear characteristics.

Is the tyre comfortable? You do get a lot of noise in the cabin and that is likely due to the tyres being runflat. Having changed to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, the road noise is almost non-existant even on the roughest of new roads being paved with rocks everywhere. Where it is a stiffer tyre, any bumps you encounter will not feel great at all and will leave you worrying about the state of your wheel. I will give the tyre a big plus on that there is a sidewall that portrudes a fair distance from the rim which protects it. Luckily, I have never kerbed the car and knock on wood, I will never.

In terms of whether or not I would buy it again, I would probably say no. The price is high, it compromises comfort for the ability to run flat for x amount of miles, and I don't think it is a tyre I will stick with if I and many others have had some unusual wear. It is a good tyre nonetheless and if you need the runflat then I would definitely choose this. These were fitted on my BMW 335i 2011 (E92) and the rears were newer than the front and I only recently purchased the car so I cannot tell you how many miles these had been on for. I already had in mind that I wanted to change from runflat to non-runflat so my view may be biased. I do think for drivers who do take it easy and want the peace of mind, this tyre is good and does everything that you need.

These tyres, though old, were hopeless on lightly wet cold (freezing point) salted tarmac.

Quite pricey tyres, yet very grippy and also confortable once you let a few psi out of them.

Good tyres for all day motoring, with predictable grip and good comfort.

Had these tures fitted to my e92 335i rwd in a staggered setup (225/45 r17 F and 255/40 R17 R). Bought the car used with these tyres in Germany. They felt very crashy over road imperfections and the grip was not that good.

Same as some of the other comments. Fitted a pair on the back of my 335i as opposed to Run Flats and they were immediately unnerving at higher speeds (+75) on the motorway. The back snakes around. On damp or wet roads the back will step out on a roundabout if too much gas is applied. Considering another tyre after only 1000 miles on these.

A lot more comfortable than the regular Michelin pilot 4S. Very comfortable over rough roads for the type of tire that it is. 2015 335 xDrive with M adaptive suspension. Very progressive tire, feels very natural at the limit. No twitchy break away at the limit unlike the 4S. Though the 4S star spec(BMW spec) is softer and just as comfortable but at what cost.

I brought a second hand BMW 335i with new PSS * at all corners.
225/40 R18 & 255/35 R18
Dry handling is very good, good grip and even better once up to temperature.
Wet handling, is a no. Traction control kicks-in too often, understeer is never far either. And I nearly lost the rear once in a normal curve at normal speed, the ESP saved me.
Aquaplaning seams to arrive fast as well.
Wear is good, I'm not an aggressive driver. Front tyres are still very fine. Rear have maybe 35% left after 40000km.
For the Noise, I have nothing to compare with. Same for comfort. But my winter tyres are more comfy (Gislaved Eurofrost).
I'll choose something different next time as in Belgium we have quite some rainy days.

Really good tyres . Dry grip is the best I experienced on the road tyre. Very progressive when losing grip. The car is very stable on high speed corners. Incredible wet grip. Nice comfort for performance tyre. I've been driving them since 2500km. and I'm very happy. 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear.
