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.

Firemax FM601 255-35-20- BMW 535xd March 24, 2025
Tyres worn to legal minimum limit in less than 10 000 km.
I'v been using Chinese tyres before. For example Triangle ones (drove 3 seasons, then sold the car and probably new owners is still using those).
But Firemax - never again.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport 275-40-18- BMW 535xd 10 miles November 30, 2021
Pros: very strong performance on twisty roads with high speed. Stops very well on both dry and wet. Makes the car feel extremely stable. Not too noisy. Cons: the worst thing about this tyre is that it is almost fully worn for one season. My rear 275/40/18 rear tyres are almost completely done after 8 months or 16-17k km. Front tyres 245/45/18 look just fine and can be used 1 or 2 more seasons. Other negative side is the rough, bumpy ride. Yesterday, I put my winter Pirellis Sotozero on and now it rides like a boat. You can drive and chill

Continental WinterContact TS 850 P 245-45-18- BMW 535xd 10,000 miles October 28, 2021
Ideal tyre for my BMW. Dry and wet handling is excellent also at warmer temperatures around 10/15 degrees. Low wear, low noise but quite stiff and rigid sidewall especially if compared to Goodyear tyres. I would highly recommend it

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 245-45-19-W BMW 535xd 1,000 miles May 19, 2020
Replaced my Goodyear runflats with this tyre and it was a big step up in ride comfort and noise. Grip feels excellent but haven't really pushed them, one thing I notice is that gravel gets thrown up the wheel arches = seems like really sticky rubber. Can only recommend.

Sumitomo Tour Plus LSW 240-45-18- BMW 535xd 123,000 miles August 4, 2016
Worst tires ever. EVER. They were realigned every time I got my oil changed and yet my car shook constantly...and shook hard -- so hard my face skin was shaking. Miserable wastes of money. Save yourself some money and angst -- your car is meant to be enjoyed.
