BMW 325d M Sport Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Pro given 83% (225-45-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 3000 spirited miles
Firstly, the Ultrac Pro is a sexy tire. The sidewall is designed by italodesign, and it really looks good. Dry grip (intermediate temps ~10-20°C) is very good. The car feels to have endless grip and you really feel comfortable pushing some twisty roads. Obviously, the warmer it got, the stickier the tire was. The Ultrac Pro seems to like temperature.
Wet grip is also very handsome. You really feel comfortable driving in heavy rain, and the grip is also very reassuring. Especially in the wet

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 given 93% (235-45-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 500 spirited miles
Very impressed with these so far; fitted to my 2015 BMW F31 touring I bought the car with OEM 19" alloys with RFTs. They were removed ASAP and sold; I then fitted OEM 18s with RFT winter tires and they were a marked improvement over the 19s; a lot less tramlining and harsh ride etc... I've now fitted 235/45/18 Goodyear Assym6s to the car on 18x8 OEM alloys all round and the car now rides and handles superbly. Smoother, quieter and little to no tramlining at all unless it's a really bad road. The car rides over potholes much better (I still do my best to avoid them) and on the country roads that surround where I live; it's overall like a different car! I'll be fitting 18" non RFT winter tires to the other set of 18s once I've had them refurbed; I'd never run RFTs again I can't comment on wear as haven't done enough & won't do enough miles to know unfortunately; but if you're after better, grippier (wet & dry) tires that offer better comfort and a smoother/quieter ride; I'd highly recommend these. More so as I got them £250 cheaper than the Michelin PS5s, which is hell of a saving for a tire that's nigh on neck n neck with the PS5s!

Writing about the Rotalla RU01 S Pace given 69% (265-30-19-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 30000 easy going miles
They perform great, the price is great. I have had 2 full sets of these tires now, my biggest issue? I have had 2 of these tires delaminate! Both on rear tires and over a year apart, 1 formed a huge bubble in the side wall and the side wall would deform dangerously under cornering, and 1 delaminated on the inner shoulder of the tire exposing cords and steel belt, the overall wear on that tire would never have suggested there was an issue. I really liked these tires, for years. But with these incidents I cannot justify buying them anymore

Writing about the Pirelli PZero Nero given 64% (255-35-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 9500 spirited miles
Great tire very grippy not as good as michelins in the wet,my only problem is I only went 9k miles on them I do drive very spiritually so some were is down to my driving but I expected little more life considering the cost.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS91 given 89% (225-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10 average miles
Having had the 245 section tire on the back of a BMW for around 10,000 miles i finally needed new tires on the front axle as well. The Rainsport 3's the Kumho PS91 have replaced were regarded as a good tire and i didn't think anything was wrong with them while they were fitted but now i realise that the Kumho are a FAR SUPERIOR tire to the Uniroyals.
The car is transformed in both comfort and grip, road feel has increased and the car now feels much lighter on the front axle with the set of four PS91's installed.
The rear tires appear to be wearing well after 10,000 miles, i'm expecting to get that out of them again so i'll be happy with that.
If you were wondering what tire to go for next, a set of these are superb in all conditions, even on some pretty shoddy British roads. They handle normal motorway miles very well, spirited driving and pulling out of junctions in a 310hp BMW with 620 NM of torque gives you no problems, highly recommend, hopefully Kumho continue to make these when i need another set.

Writing about the Three A P606 given 80% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
Fitted to my 325d which is remapped to 270bhp. Massive amount of grip in the grip and wet. No problem trusting them when driving fast. Also they where a lot quieter than the run flats I removed. Would definitely buy again.

Writing about the Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 given 77% (225-45-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 average miles
Mounted these on my bmw 325d e90, the tire walls are too soft even when inflated at 3,0 bar. I have take them down and sold them as I could not live with them. I recommend buying goodyear asymmetrics instead

Writing about the Dunlop Winter Sport 5 given 74% (225-45-17-T)
Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 easy going miles
I bought these tires for my BMW e90, I did not had the chance to drive in snow with them but on dry and wet roads they have good grip. The problem is I need to keep them overinflated otherwise the steering response is mushy and too soft . For this reason the comfort is reduced. It seems they hold well and probably will last 30 000 km.

Writing about the Nexen N Fera SU1 given 50% (255-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Replaced Dunlop Sport Max RT for these on the rear which were brilliant tires. Not a good choice. Basically the rear became slightly unstable at higher speeds, but were fine normal to slightly spirited driving. However when it rains these tires are not good. Basically putting my foot down or partially down around corners in the wet and these tires DO NOT grip in the wet very well. On a few occassions this has caught me out by suprise and I thought I would crash. Good price but if you have 200 BHP going through the rear wheels then I would not recommend these tires - your life depends on having tires that perform well in the wet. and I can only compare these Nexens to the previous brand of tire I had

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat given 44% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Grip and traction in the dry are good, with positive turn-in, fairly progressive break-away and strong resistance to understeer. Initially they were surprisingly good in greasy conditions too, although not when really wet. As they've started to wear, their susceptibility to aquaplaning has become quite scary. As other reviewers have noted they also give a very hard ride, tramline all over the place and make the steering extremely heavy. Given the wet winter we're having, it was a relief to put on my winter tires which give much more confidence in standing water, eliminate the tramlining and lighten the steering. I really wouldn't recommend these tires and will be replacing them with non-runflats as soon as I can bear the cost.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat given 59% (255-30-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Similar to other 'poor ride' reviews.
Great for billiard tables, not so good for UK roads.
MSport set up and virtually rigid side walls on the run flats makes the car very skittish, stepping out on the slightest bump.
Driving style has to be more attentive to the road surface than the actual drive itself.
Run flats on 19" rims is a definite NO. My experience peaked when one of the wheels developed several cracks, a common problem.
As a 'moderate' driver, I didn't appreciate the harshness of the ride, it's a no compromise option and not for the faint hearted.
I took this as the time to swap, I bought a set of 18" rims on regular tires (which I'll review after a few miles).
The car is a different beast, rides better, smoother, quieter and I can now enjoy the ride.

Writing about the Avon ZZ5 given 91% (245-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1 spirited miles
My local tire dealer said I wouldn't be disappointed as I wasn't! Excellent grip in dry and particularly wet conditions (the tire disburses water excellently). Given the low profile tires on my car these have been expectational soft and quiet.
