Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Nankang Sportnex AS2+ 245-35-20 BMW 530d F11 21,000 miles August 10, 2026

I've been driving these tyres on my BMW 530d F11 2016 with 285/30-20 on the rears and 245/35-20 on the front.
Stage 1 tuned ~ 320hp & 650Nm.

For the starters, they are really good for daily driving.
My driving route is almost only highway and country road, yes I do some spirited/sporty driving time to time.
At very high speed you do feel that walls are bit soft, especially in the corners. Other then that, the overall grip is more than ok.
Been testing these on almost every conditions cold weather (except snow), summer, spring, fall and heavy rain weather.
The dry grip is good for commuting, as mentioned above they are bit soft at high speed.
The wet grip is one of the points were these tyres suprise me for the price. Been on roadtrip in Norway were the weather was raining constantly and on the serpentine roads while playing with other cars, the grip is actally good.
The handling and feedback is good as long you don't drive them hard.

Noise and consumption:
Noise wise, they are not super loud, still comfortable but they have tendency to "hum" a bit when they are worn out.
Consumption: the rolling resistance is a highlight, for commuting they are perfect. Consumption numbers with these has been a pleasure.

The downside is wear/tread life.
That is the only one is thing about these tyres that are big disappointment.
Manage to get out only ~ 35000km / 21700 miles and the rears are slick. And I only have them for 2 years. The front howevers have some life left, like 3-3,5mm maybe?
Since I have xDrive / AWD / 4WD, I have to replace all 4.
I do wheel alignment every 1-2 years depends on where I driving so I'm sure that the alignment is not the problem here. I do drive with 3 bars on the rears and 2.8 at the front since is a heavy car.

Maybe this is the price of buying a bit cheaper tyres but Nankang according to my research use to have good tread life in general.
Because of tread life, I'm not sure if I will buy these again but I've been happy with these in general for what it cost.

Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport 245-40-19 BMW 530d F11 September 20, 2025
Been waiting for exactly this tyre - all season with a sporty bias. Don't believe a 5 series requires a full UHP tyre.

Recently got a full set fitted and having done a few hundred miles now initial impressions are good. Dry and wet grip is excellent. Noise levels are great too, no lounder than the summers previously fitted.
No adverse weather yet so haven't tested in the snow but time will tell, given michelin's expertise with the CC2 I'm sure they'll be fine there. Fuel economy doesn't appear to have changed. Comfort improved over the run flats previously fitted.
All in very happy so far just waiting on snow performance and wear rate. Got a good price on them too, cheaper that the PS5s I was considering.

Goodyear Excellence 245-40-19 BMW 530d F11 5 miles July 15, 2025
BMW 530 Touring (F11) - I have had to change 6 tyres due to bulging of the sidewall during the past 20,000 miles. I can't comment on wear because they don't last long enough! The garage tells me it is because of run flats and pot holes ... perhaps he is correct, but I am suspicious because my previous 530 Touring (E61) had the same spec tyre, different brand, and I never experienced any tyre bulging. Just good old wear. Problem is, I can't recall the tyre brand of my E61? Dunlop I think? I will ask advice and change the brand because, guess what ... I've just noticed a tyre with bulges.

Continental SportContact 7 245-40-19- BMW 530d F11 4,000 miles May 24, 2023
I bought these tires about a year ago. The drive was great and the grip immense no matter what the conditions were. I knew there is gonna be faster wear on those tires, but i figured it is worth the pleasure, however after just one summer season - about 4000 miles - mostly driven on a highway, the tires were pretty much gone. What is worse the thread is there but become step shaped and the noise they produce is unbelievable. They were not the quietest tires when I bought them, but now they are essentially undrivable. I wouldn't recommend them for heavier cars, i recon on VW Golf they work just fine, but in this size, it was not the best purchase.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 245-40-19- BMW 530d F11 40 miles August 24, 2022
Purchased in 2018 the Goodyear Asymmmetric 3 Run Flats for my BMW 5 series touring, I am just replacing them now having covered 40,000 miles which is really excellent, they were much quieter than the Goodyear Excellence tyres previously fitted and gave better road handling and improved grip overall. They also wore evenly unlike the previous Goodyear Excellence standard fit tyres, so highly recommended.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 225-45-17- BMW 530d F11 15,000 miles March 13, 2021
Comfortable tyre with reasonable grip however it didn't seem to be great in the wet compared to the previous tyres. Actually good on snow, but perhaps the four wheel drive helps there

Fullrun F6000 245-45-18-V BMW 530d F11 12,000 miles September 21, 2020
These arrived on a new to me 530d. They are dreadful tyres. Very glad to be changing them. The dry grip is just about okay but in the wet they have the potential to be lethal. If it wasn't for the electronics on the car coming off roundabouts would be an exceptionally hazardous business... Don't buy.

Fulda Kristall Control HP2 245-45-18-V BMW 530d F11 3,500 miles January 29, 2019
Very good grip and driving in wet roads. Very good in poor snow, also in wet snow, but not very good in ice roads for braking and no good grip in ice. Noisy when speed more than 100km/h, but good handling and road feedback.

Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR Run flat 245-45-18- BMW 530d F11 15 miles September 8, 2018
Fitted to BMW F11 530D SE Touring.

Whilst this is the first car I have had with run flat tyres I am not overly impressed. The car originally had 19" rims but when I bought the car I had the garage change the wheels to 18" as British roads are now so bad.
Firstly ride comfort. You feel the shock of every potholed road imperfection. I had to replace front wishbones at 50,000 miles (Driving for a living I have never had to do this on any other car!) and a buckled front wheel.
My driving is 80% motorway driving style for economy so tyre wear is disappointing. Considering the continentals were new when i bought the car, in 30,000 miles i have had two sets of rear tyres and will shortly need a third set and am on my second front set. When driving Miss Daisy I expect better mileage! I have just put Bridgestone Driveguard on the front and will see how they perform. Front tyres lasted 28,000

Achilles ATR Sport 245-40-19- BMW 530d F11 1,500 miles April 18, 2015
Came with the car. Best thing I did was to take them off and throw them away. If you see someone else with these tyres on their car stay a long distance away from them.
