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.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 225-40-19 BMW BMW 440i COUPE F32 12,500 miles October 10, 2026

The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 ticks all of my boxes :
1) Wet : in 1987 I had a nasty accident in my Golf 2 because of aquaplaning, so behaviour in the wet is my main concern. The Turanza is very good in the wet, be it braking, grip, or dispersing water.
2) Dry : I wanted an all season tyre that comes close to a summer tyre. The Turanza delivers.
3) Snow : I live in Flanders where we hardly get any snow. I don't need the best performance in wintery conditions. Compared to my previous experience with winter tyres this tyre clearly isn't as good. But, I just don't want to get stuck in snow, and I haven't so far. I have no experience on ice, though.
4) Comfort : contrary to magazine tests, I find this tyre comfortable and very quiet. Some other testers on this site confirm. Perhaps there's a difference, depending on tyre size. So, FYI front 225/40R19, rear 255/35R19.
Other remarks :
- I've noticed that my car is very neutral through bends on this tyre, no under- or oversteer. Going on/off the gas in a curb doesn't change trajectory, really impressive.
- The only drawback with this tyre is a lack of feedback, it feels numb, no steering feel.
- If I had to change tyres today, I would buy again, as it ticks my boxes.
As a final remark : a big thank you to TyreReviews.com, this is my goto website for tyre info, and a big thank you to all private testers for sharing info. As a thank you I've written this review.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 SUV 225-40-19 BMW BMW XLINE 18D XLINE AUTO 26,000 miles October 7, 2026

The tyres have been used mainly on motorways, in all seasons, with occasional A and B roads during the summer. Grip is accurate and reliable, in all seasons, including heavy rain.( No real snow/ice experience) . The tyres, being run flat , are noisier than regular tyres on motorways and the handling a little stiffer too.
After 26,000 miles they still have 3.5 mm of tread left ,with some minor shoulder wear on the front pair. I'm probably switching to conventional tyres (non run flat) after this winter. Very likely Goodyear's again, although I've also run Bridgestone, on this vehicle too.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 225-45-17 BMW BMW X1 5,500 miles September 23, 2026

Had these fitted 3 years ago and since then done roughly 5500 miles. Not a lot of mileage, but then that's because of my circumstances. (I'm retired and don't do the 1200 mile round trips to and from the continent, 6 times a year. Michelin have been my go to car tyre, since I first had the MXL and MXT on my Volvo.)
The wear has been negligible, gone from 7 mm new to about 6.5 mm today.
Haven't had any snow to speak of here in the UK, but a bit icy one or two days.
Last Christmas went to stay up country, mostly motorway, a trip of 130 miles or so. Not far but the rain was horrendous, it didn't stop at all, roads were flooded and the spray evil. We returned two days later and got similar weather, torrential rain all the way back.
The tyres were great, never thought for one moment that I would loose control. They're quieter than the previous Turanza, which I never thought were safe when cornering, especially in the wet.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS 225-45-18 BMW BMW 328d XDrive Wagon 21,350 miles September 20, 2026

These are the first UHP tire I've purchased - they performed excellent in the dry and rain I have full confidence in them in those conditions.
They also did remarkably well in fresh snow, even a few inches deep, and held up ok in slush (although the car does get pushed around). They are absolutely useless on any kind of hard packed and polished snow, and especially useless on ice.
Car is a 2015 328d xdrive wagon.

Pirelli P Zero E 245-40-19 BMW Bmw i4 m50 10,000 miles August 14, 2026

Good tyre all round. Would buy again price depending. They are a little firm and noisier than i think they should be, but overall good.

Marshal MU12 315-35-20 BMW BMW X5 F15 30d Xdrive 20 miles April 10, 2026
Hey all!
Just got these for my X5 F15 in 315/35/20 Rear and 275/40/20 Front.
Right off the bat they are louder than the winter set i had on and they are much firmer than I had thought they'd be. To me it doesn't matter that much, however I note it as I know that many drivers prefer comfort.
This is an initial impression and ignoring the slightly higher road noise they are very responsive, car feels more planted and snappier.
Even tho they are quite firm, at speed, bumps are absorbed quite well.
Let's see how they get through the summer 2026 and I might update this toward autumn.

Pirelli P Zero All Season 245-40-19 BMW BMW M440iX GC 1,200 miles March 21, 2026
I'm writing to share my experiences with Pirelli tires, as I've had two instances in the past decade. The first was around 10 years ago when I fitted a set of their all-season tires (I do not remember the model). At first, I found them quite peculiar; for the initial 500 to 1000 miles, the car had an unsettling floaty feel at speeds 45-55 mph on concrete roads. It felt like driving a boat! Over time, it improved, but I only put 16,000 miles on them before replacing them.

My current experience with Pirelli P Zero All Season tires on my BMW has been much worse. They're factory-fitted, but the car's handling is unpredictable. Some days, it's bearable, while others, tramlining (following road grooves) terribly on the same roads at the same speed, seemingly temperature or maybe moisture dependent. After about 350 miles, highway driving feels like I'm navigating a high-speed boat in choppy water. These tires might excel on German autobahns, but they're far from ideal for Colorado's concrete roads. The ride comfort is virtually non-existent; they transmit every road imperfection, even with the adaptive M suspension in comfort mode. Uphill driving on curved roads induces a slide-like feeling. I'm extremely disappointed with these tires.

I've tried adjusting tire pressure with no noticeable improvement.

Continental VikingContact 8 235-50-18 BMW BMW 330i Xdrive Gran Turismo 4,000 miles January 25, 2026
These tires are incredibly balanced, comfortable, and confidence inspiring in snow and icy conditions. I live in West Michigan, and we have been hammered with snow for the last couple months, so I’ve been able to test these tires in all types of weather. They are incredibly comfortable, soaking up all sorts of potholes, and chopped up icy roads. I have not noticed any noise/tones from them, and they don’t have any issues with tram-lining on crosscut concrete. They are very grippy on smooth ice, and pull through slushy snow well, but if they have a weakness it is in deeper slush. Sometimes they struggle to gain traction when accelerating through deep slushy snow, or when trying to turn and accelerate through corners. I haven’t noticed any uneven wear, but it’s still early. I’ll update my review once the winter season is over and I put my summer wheels and tires on.

Dunlop Roadsmart IV GT 190-55-17 BMW BMW K1600GTL 2,200 miles December 17, 2025
Had the V fitted for a number of years and found them to be a fantastic tyre all round. Front tyre did not last as long as the rear due to the weight of the bike and the K1600gtl being very front heavy. I now have the Road Smart IV and so far so good. I did a 2200 mile trip around Ireland this year 2025 with a every kind of road and conditions, both twist and motorway and lets say not so slow most of the time. Spent most of the time one up though full laden. The grip was never lacking and I felt confident in tone and on the open road, twisty or strait.
I would highly recommend the Road Smart 4

Continental SportContact 7 285-35-20 BMW Bmw i4 m50 1,000 miles August 13, 2025
Bought these to replace Pirelli p zeros fitted new on bmw i4 m50.definitely better dry and wet grip same noise level as Pirelli.i changed Pirelli after 9.000 miles mixture of driving expect these to last about the same staggered set up front 255 35 20 rear 285 30 20 which in my opinion accelerates wear plus weight of car I was advised these are not star rated for bmw yet they are better alround than the star rated Pirelli.
