I think these are brilliant tyres. 2.2 ton car, real wheel drive, 340hp, rears easily will last 25-30k miles and front 35-40k, only change new to worn is an increase in aqua planning - nothing serious and only in a lot of water. Quiet, comfortable, I do not do spirited driving so cannot comment on this. Really nice tyres and also low rolling resistance.

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.

What BMW I4 e40 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Got these tires for my Bmw i4 e40 (RWD). They were test winners and supposedly very good.
My experience is the opposite. For snowy, icy nordic winters. They are horrendous. I initially didn't think they were too bad. When new, they were decent. But having now switched to Conti VikingContacts (7 rear, 8 front, due to supply limitations in my dimensions). I got some awakening perspective.
It felt similar to what I believe F1 drivers feel like when switching to intermediates/wets after staying out for too long in the rain on slicks.
I now had traction, throttle, braking, turning. I could actually drive the car.
Before I could provoke oversteer with the lightest of throttle application, now I really have to do it with intent to get some action.
The Blizzaks were never unpredictable with oversteer or understeer. They were predictably horrible in snow and ice.
Wear was also a big problem. Chewed through a set of rears in about 10000km/6000miles. Twice.
Would not recommend, if you only se slight snow once or twice a year. Maybe, but then you'd be better off with a great all season tire I think.

These came with my BMW i4 e40 RWD.
Not really a performance tyre but does the job.
Dry grip is very good, wet grip is somehow average/decent.
Im on 22.000km mark. I pressume they will last max 30.000km or so.
For this price, they are Okish for an EV.
For me, they are far below Michelin PS4S.

This is an update on previous review. Wonderful tyre. Travelled in rain, ice, dry, no issues at all at least for my lazy driving. Quiet, comfortable, breaks and corners as well as I would like. Wear not too good, down to 5 mm from 8 mm in 11k miles, I guess I am lucky to get 20k miles. Overall I d absolutely buy again unless another tyre is equally good but with better wear
1200 miles in a BMW i4 e40. Quite impressed, I like this tyre a lot. Quiet tyres, some noise only on really rough tarmac. Motorway cruising and no spirited driving, so far solid grip in dry and wet, solid braking. Soft, cushioned, comfortable ride. Overall a great tyre, seems rolling resistance is pretty low as well. Cannot comment on wear yet.
