BMW 318 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 given 93% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
The best all around touring tire. Very good road feedback. Stiff enough sidewall.

Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
The tornados give you really bad times when driving on wet roads, really dangerous in particular if you drive a rwd car. They also started deforming and vibrating after some time.
I am now on the way to replace them in order to have a driveable car during the winter.

Writing about the Continental ContiMaxContact MC6 given 79% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
This replaces a set of Michelin PS4 on my car. In the dry, I feel no noticeable difference. The two are very similar to me. After all, I only drive my car on road. I never drive it on the track. In terms of comfort I feel the contis are more comfortable, but the michelins were on my car for 6 years before being replaced, with maybe 20% tread left, so of course the newer tires would be more comfortable. I dont really remember how they felt when new. The biggest difference to me is when the road is wet. The michelin, despite being a summer tire, handles very, very well in the wet. In the 6 years I had them, I never once experienced any aquaplanning whatsoever. The contis on the other hand, feel a little bit slippier. It's not terrible, but I can certainly feel the difference with the michelins. Let's just say I was more confident on wet surface with the michelins. I've only had them for a little over 2 months so I cant really comment on wear. The michelin PS4 lasted me 6 years, and I only replaced them because they were severe cracks due to the environment. I really hope the contis last as long or even better. Hopefully they dont crack as quickly as the michelins.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT given 47% (225-50-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 spirited miles
BMW F30 user.
Pros:
1. Wears out very slowly
2. No worry in case of a flat tire (RFT)

Cons:
1. Very hard tires produces high vibration and loud noise gets inside the cabin and greatly effects comfort level
2. Very uncomfortable especially when dealing with road bumps
3. Poor dry grip where the car easily oversteers when cornering at high speed
4. Very poor wet grip
Will not buy again.

Driving on mostly town for 62000 average miles
I have these fittet on my 2017 BMW F30. I could stand only 1500km to these. Constant understeer and no comfort whatsoever. Never again RFT, never again Potenza S001. The only little good side of the tire is wear. But, what you do with it when you have no grip at all.

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate Plus given 60% (205-55-16-)
Driving on mostly town for 12500 average miles
Very good tire as long as is new. Once you put a few miles on it or after 2 years of use (12500 miles), is rubbish. Over time compared to other tires I had, it wears fast and the grip on ice or wet after 2 years is worse than a summer tire (the performance of the tire drops drastically compared to when it was new). And I don't have a sporty style of driving.

Driving on track for 0 spirited miles
Feed back: Bought these tires for a Champcar race in the states which helped sponsored some of theevent. If your car podiumed, they sent you a few tires. ANyways we took the chance and podiumed and Won overall for Class C. The tires are responsive, fun, new. But once you get them really worked in a hot, they loose a bit of time. Some slight understeer Entry-Apex-exit. Not much over steer expereinced in the BMW 318ti. Would i buy or reccomend...Hmm, for the champcar series, I would reccomedn for a lighter car, not for a heavier. Other than that, they were a cheaper tire to try. Other are better for sure. But for the price, and a smaller car, they would be great for you on the track for a begginer's tire.

Grip, both wet and dry are excellent, and road feedback is pretty good too. Wears pretty fast though. Got the run flats, and I understand that they're not supposed to be as comfortable as non-run flat tires, but the comfort on this is really not that great. They are pretty quiet, but road unevenness is really felt. Granted I do have a rather "sport" oriented vehicle.

I drive my BMW E46 to Genting, the Goodyear Excellence gave me the lousy feedback, oversteered when in wet road running about 20-30 km/h. Tire very very noisy.
