BMW 120d e82 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Accelera PHI R given 29% (230-35-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
Fitted to BMW 120d e82. Car is 230bhp remapped and rwd.

Use to drive ventus primes tires and the difference is very noticeable. The accelera has no grip, the car spins its wheels in 3rd when before, the car did not spin at all. Wet weather is very unstable. The car use to glide in the rain and feel in control at 160km/h easy, now it feels dangerous at 100km/hr.

Driving on country roads is also hairy. Any bump in the road will throw the balance out and the tires are unpredictable. Sometimes it understeers, other times it oversteer. You cannot feel the car like with the higher tier tire. Would be fine on a city car not doing long motorway mikes or fast country roads and on a small city car with no power, however in the BMW it’s a definite no go. Will be switching back to a premium tires asap

Fantastic tires, I run them on BMW 120d rear wheel drive from October to April and I've never been stuck. Excellent in the dry, wet, ice and snow. An essential when figures are below 7degrees c. Couldn't ask for more from these tires, would buy again for sure.

Tires are not to bad when just driving around town but give them a open road and do not expect much Very low on grip in the rain and in the dry there below par on previous tires I've owned around the same price Comfort wise they have quite a soft sidewall so gives more of a smoother ride and noise is also low Have done around 5500miles on the tires and they have not worn much despite being quite a soft tire

Put these tires on both the front and the back to replace the original run flatts that came with my originally and was deeply impressed. Great improvement in feedback, grip and economy. So far they've done 15000 miles and the front look like hey still have another 3-4 mm left before the limit only just replaced the backs with a real budget tire as a screw driver mysteriously found its way into one of them. But before that they had around 3mm left.
