255/35 19 Tire Review Highlights

Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 96% while driving a Audi S5
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
The tire as a whole is very nice and reliable, but care must be taken because the grip on dry when the tire is cold is less. However, once it reaches operating temperature the feeling is wonderful ! The feedback from the road and the feel in a corner is second to none. In the wet it also performs super. Just be careful on cold tarmac with cold tires - then there is a loss of grip. I've been driving the tires for about 8,000km, but it feels like the wear is a bit faster than I'd like.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 rated 83% while driving a BMW 325i M Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
I loved these tires as soon as they went on the car, night and day difference from the OEM Bridgestone RFs that are meant for my E92 325i (those were awful tires). I'm so glad I went with the F1 A5's as it's been a really pleasurable and safe ~3 years. I've done a mixture of driving, but at it's my daily it will most often be town/motorway. However I do enjoy driving down a country lane every few weeks (no track). The dry grip has been incredible and the feedback through the wheel is sharp, even more impressive in my opinion was the wet grip which really inspired confidence even around corners. Aquaplaning was sensational; on many occasions I had done long road trips around the UK in torrential rain, often from London to Dartmoor, Devon. On one occasion I was doing a healthy speed on the motorway with an M135i driving alongside me in seriously torrential rain till the point where they aquaplaned into the hard shoulder and my car continued thanks to the A5's. On top of that I did several spirited drives from London to Devon in the peak of winter in a RWD BMW on icy conditions that went as smooth as anything.

I really can't fault these tires as they were so affordable and impressive. The only downsides for me were that they aren't particularly good looking tires and they go quite "dry" in appearance fairly quickly so frequent tire shine is needed. In terms of wear I guess around 18k miles is decent as the rears are only now getting to the limit and I guess I tend to power off the line more frequently than others, I've also done a couple of donuts over the years but only a handful of times.

I'm now considering going for Continental SportContact 7 in 255/30/19 (stock) or 265/30/19 for the rear replacement but I worry the wet grip will be lost.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4 rated 54% while driving a BMW M240i
Driving on mostly town for 6500 spirited miles
These were the tires that came on my 2024 BMW M240i xDrive. While they do alright they leave a lot to be desired. I just cant seem to trust them. They always handle the job with no drama when loaded up, but it takes a big of G to really get there. They just feel like they’re asleep until a threshold of high grip. On hard launch they dont chirp or bother they just go, hard stops the same. They are serious under pressure but almost always napping off the line. They are eh okay.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 rated 83% while driving a Mercedes Benz C250
Driving on mostly town for 1500 average miles
I bought the PS5s to replace run flat Pirelli P-Zeros, as I wanted tires that would be more comfortable and last longer. I started off a bit disappointed as they felt less grippy and made the steering quite vague. But after a thousand kms they have changed and now prove to have great levels of grip. They are quiet, ride well (noticeably better than the old run flats) and that sidewall looks fantastic. The Pirellis had slightly more grip and better steering feel, but the expected longevity of the Michelins is worth the trade-off. Only thing I wish they had would be better rim protection as it's quite narrow.

Infinity Ecomax rated 70% while driving a BMW 430d
Driving on mostly motorways for 12000 average miles
Decent tires and good value for money.
Never failed me.
Lots of miles on German autobahns with speeds exceeding100 m/h.
Long trips over 1000 miles in extremely high temperatures.

Laufenn S Fit EQ Plus rated 96% while driving a Audi a5 3.0 tdi quattro sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
This review is for the Z FIT EQ, these tires are a real find. They are excellent in the wet and dry. They are laufenns UHP performance tire. No understeer or oversteer with these having solid sidewalls and give you total confidence to drive your car in any situations you come across. Really comfortable ride in the car and excellent mpg. People think that economy tires are not safe but all tires sold in the UK have to meet British standards. 7.5 mm of tread depth and good rim protection make these brilliant!

Yokohama ADVAN APEX V601 rated 83% while driving a Audi RS4 Quattro
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Bought them due to a lack of alternatives. Previously used P Zero Assimetrico, Dunlop Sport Maxx GT, GT Radial Champiro and Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymmetric.

They give better feedback in an AWD car (wet and dry) than the Champiro and P Zero, plus outlast both by some margin. Rides far better than either, too; roughly on par in terms of NVH and comfort as the Eagle F1s.

The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT is however more comfy, has marginally better wet performance and shorter braking distances. But they wear out even quicker than the Advan Apex.

I'm a lively and brisk driver, in both wet and dry conditions, and enjoy employing what i bought the car (RS4 Avant, 3.0L) for, finding quiet b-roads whenever i can.

Recommended if no completing alternatives, or you're on a budget.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 90% while driving a BMW 328i
Driving on a combination of roads for 23000 spirited miles
Bought a full set for my 328i touring in July 2023. I've now covered 23,000 miles with them and will definitely be buying again shortly as they are getting close to the wear markers.
The tires felt great in dry and wet conditions. Even when driving during the cold, wet winter mornings the tires have given a suprising amount of traction in corners and roundabouts. When I think they are about to let go they keep on holding to the road giving a lot of confidence and feel for the car.
More than happy with the durability of the tires. Regularly recommend the tires to friends and colleagues.

Pace Toledo TL1000 rated 94% while driving a Audi A6 Avant 2.0TDI
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
But this tire as a cheap replacement for a 14-year-old Audi A6 Avant. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are. They are very quiet and very smooth but the one thing that is very impressive is the grip it’s just never ending. Don’t be afraid of the name they are a very good tire choice

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 rated 94% while driving a Audi S4
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
All our three cars in our house hold we all use Michelin tires. The Michelin sport pilot 5 is Michelins latest range. We have been using them a while now. It does everything a pilot 4 does. One can really trust and have a lot of confidence in the tires to perform and do the job they were made to do. I have an S4 Audi and by God the pilot 5s are tremendous. Grips the road like glue. The car with the tires handle superbaly. Obviously if you foot down all the time the tires will grip but mileage will not be high but if you drive normally the mileage will be quite high. I got my pilot 5s on offer from Michelins promotion just in March so be quick to get £40 of two tire. I recommend all high performance car owners to get the pilot 5 tires. They are very reliable. This review is unbiased I have paid fully for my Michelin tires.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 67% while driving a Audi A5
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 easy going miles
I know how the Asymmetrical 6 is such a favourite and how well reviewed it was. But on the A5 which sits lower, my biggest gripe would be the road feedback. On certain road surfaces, the car glides through while providing some feedback, On rough surfaces, it seems to be highlighting every crevices undulation on the road which makes it very uncomfortable. I do not appreciate after riding an hour in the car and probably due to thin profile of the tires, that road feedback travels into the cabin and makes the car just feel out of place. The tires perform well on handling, on grip, on braking distance, on quietness, it was sublime. The road contact patch they boast of actually backfires in a hot country with terrible roads - Singapore.

Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 rated 81% while driving a BMW M240i
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Great overall UHP winter tire. They go on my 2022 BMW M240i xDrive in the fall and come off in the spring using 2 sets of identical wheels year-round. During the summer I run on Michelin PS4S so for several days each year I get to A/B compare this tire against one of the best tires ever made. The only difference in the tires being the front winters are 225/40/19's and the front summers are 245/35/19's. Rears are all 255/35/19's as I run a staggered setup. The major differences between the two tires are the road noise (higher on the Pirelli's) and a little more "sway" in the Pirelli's when pushing the car around bends. What I find impressive though is how well the Pirelli's communicate what they are doing. They have a very linear and predictable feel like the PS4S so I always know how much grip I have left which makes using them in winter more enjoyable as you can really drive the car as intended in the dry. The tires also don't need to be warmed up and feel compliant right out of the gate on a cold start and go. In the rain they behave as expected and hydroplane less than the PS4S do when driving in heavy rain with water accumulation on the road. I also had the chance to drive over a challenging mountain pass road during a snow storm in my first winter on them and really got to experience the difference. The tire was very predictable and kept me out of trouble. Combined with AWD, I felt completely safe and confident and drove right through the storm without any issues.
