BMW 520d Tyre Review Highlights

I would never buy this tyres again , first winter was amazing , 2nd winter was bad, now 3rd winter is worse than summer tires , the rubber got so hard on them and they have no more grip.

I’m coming from old Continental 830P winter tyres and having new tyres, even if they are budget tyres, feels as a big improvement. On dry roads they are fantastic, the grip is very good. Recently I started driving them on snow covered roads, country roads and motorways. The only time I feel they are losing grip is when I floor it suddenly on wet or snow covered roads, but I’m used to this as the car is RWD. I drove them on snow covered motorway and I was able to change lanes without having the sensation that I’m losing grip. However, I do drive very cautiously. For me it’s better to change more often budget tyres, than buying premium tyres and keep them for longer. One the tyre is getting old, no matter the brand it will loose grip. I would probably buy them again.

BEST BUDGET TYRE..PERFORM WELL

Out of necessity I had to go with Maxtrek Maximus M2 tyres. They’re absolute garbage heavy vehicles like BMW 5er. They’re on rear axil and just does tail spin all the time while negotiating roundabouts in wet conditions. I’m so scared to go at 80 in wet conditions. NEVER AGAIN.

I bought these tires in March. I'll start with the negative feedback. After 10,000 miles on a BMW 520d, I have 4-5mm tread left on them. I think I will have them for another 5000 miles until I have to change them. Compared to Michelin Cross Climate, which I had for 25,000 miles on a BMW 320d, these ones wear too soon. I have tested them on snow only for a bit while I got caught by the Welsh weather. :D They act good. I had grip and good control of the car. In spring/summer conditions they are almost like a summer tire: great grip, handling and short breaking distance. Overall I'm happy with their performance, but not with their wear, considering I'm doing 90% of miles on motorways.

I fitted these tires two months ago and drove them for about 5000 miles on different types of roads, from city traffic to highways. I find the tires to be very quiet, although they came to replace some pretty much worn-out Michelin RFTs so my feeling might be a little biased.
Although I didn't get to drive them in winter temps yet, they seem to stick to the road very well for summer driving. They felt planted at speeds up to 120 mph (didn't take them further than that so can't tell), but a little slippery in corner acceleration on twisty roads, particularly on hot tarmac.
I am not worried about winter performance as I've run Vredesteins before and I trust the brand mainly for winter capabilities.
Overall I find them reasonable as a year-round alternative and will wait to see if I can get more than a year's worth out of them.

Coming out from some great Michelin Primacy RUNFLAT tyres I opted for these Viking ProTech NewGen, as one of my friends with a Mercedes E Klasse recommended them to me as reliable for normal use. I can say I like switching from RUNFLAT to normal tyres as they are not so loud and are softer on normal city roads with the car suspension. After cca. 9000 miles or 13000+ km I can say the tyres are reliable and a great choice for the money (I paid ≈ 75 EUR/tyre). They feel great, braking is good in dry and wet, handling just find in rain. The only thing I can say they are a bit loud on the highway driving at 130 km/hr or 80 miles/hr. Took them on long roads for summer vacation, 2500 km round trip and no complaints here. Would definitely consider them again.

My initial review is here somewhere but I can not find it to edit it.
End of life review: so, I bought these in May 2020 for la 5 series 520d with 177hp, rwd. I used them by rotation, for 3 summers and aprox 30-35k km on mixed roads. I planned to use them this summer as well, two of them had 4mm and the other two had 6mm, but, even if I properly stored them, had correct pressure in them and so, they show advance aging https:// imgur. com /a/BoXRfVW (remove spaces) which never happened to previous 4 sets of GY that I had on different cars for even 4-5 years/set, but also, never had GY UHP tyres before.
I replaced them with Hankook Prime 4, as I wasn't feeling safe with them anymore and also they became very noisy but still with a good grip both on dry and wet.
Not sure if I will buy any other GY anytime soon.

I left a review before on the AS 2 but my tyres are the new AS2 Plus - my error! So I have 19'' wheels and tyres are large 275's at rear.....got to say so far so good. Had Falkens before and liked them but local garage said try these - and have to say they ride well / noise no issues / wet so far so good but have not been on really wet roads yet. Tyre wear can't comment yet either but will do later. So in summary for £170 runflats on a 5 Series 19'' wheels I'm delighted........yes you get what you pay for but you can also get good value for money and these tick that box.
