BMW 325i M Sport Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 83% (255-35-19-)
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.

Driving on a combination of roads for 31000 spirited miles
Ran the PSS on my BMW 325i from 2014 to 2024 (!), they managed just above 50 000km/31 000 miles still having about 3mm of tread left driven on Swedish relatively rough asphalt. Some slight dry cracks appearing. Square setup on 8,5x19" and rotated them about 4 times. Ran about 2,8-3,2 Bars of pressure.

Great steering feel and (specially when worn down a bit), very good grip but a little high in road noise and bouncy ride on uneven surfaces. Didnt seem to aquaplan that easily, but wet grip was a little lacking (never felt dangerous). Suprisingly good below freezing (dry) ambient temp. Seemed to last forever! Pretty good rim protection as well.

Replaced by PS5 on 2024 on same wheels, same dimension for better comfort and looks (lol).

Driving on a combination of roads for 26000 spirited miles
Had this tire fitted to the front of a bmw 325i sport on 18in alloys for 26000miles and 4 years no complaints would use again only changed because of cracking from age.

Writing about the Nexen N8000 given 43% (265-30-19-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 spirited miles
I had a sudden burst to my Falken FK510 tires and it was a late evening. The only nearby workshop with 265/30/19 ready stock is Nexen N8000. Tried them on for 6 months, what I can tell is that this is a budget non-performance tire. Dry grip is subpar. I have no confidence to go fast in corner like I used to with Bridgestone, Falken FK510 and Continental CSC6. Again, I understand this is a budget tire but I didn't expect the dry grip to be this bad. Wet grip on the other hand, it is not too bad. So far no aquaplaning in the past 6 months. My advice is to go for a better tire if budget is not an issue for you. Avoid this tire at all cost if driving feel and safety at highspeed is your concern.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 6 given 90% (255-30-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
Had these tires replace the Bridgestone potenza runflats I had on the car and they seem to soak up the road better and really quiet on the motorway, where I live there are pot holes everywhere and owning a car that I have is known for alloys cracking, these tires soak up potholes and have shown no sign of letting the alloys crack, always wanted continentals and I’m glad I paid the price for them. 100% worth buying.

Writing about the Continental SportContact 2 SSR Run Flat given 57% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15000 spirited miles
Fitted to E90 M Sport. Front tires wore uneven and wore out of round resulting it having to be replaced after just 25000km. Rear tires wore down to limit after 30000km. Tire has much better grip and comfort than Bridgestone RE050A RFT.

Writing about the Achilles ATR Sport 2 given 12% (265-30-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Switched from Nexen N3000. About 100USD less than Nexen N8000 per piece, i've decided to give it a try for my rear for my BMW 325i E90 MSport.
Immediately i regretted so much. I can feel that my rear is not really going straight line when im doing 100kmh and above.
When i try to overtake cars, the rear slide a lil bit. Went to 3 tire shops to check my alignment and all i got was "These tire wont grip".

I would switch back to Nexen once the thread is done,

I would not suggest anyone to take it.

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
These tires replace my Bridgestone potenza re50 run flats. This change has transformed the car by improving the handling , less road noise, better grip at speed on corners , wet grip fantastic .These tires are not run flats but i have had the confidence to make the change , I did loads of research over 6 months and have not had any reason to regret my choice .The only small issue is the loss of the pin sharp steering you get with run flats ,but you soon adapt and enjoy the other benifits of the Michelin pilot sport 4 .

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR Runflat given 90% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 average miles
2005 BMW E90 325i originally had Bridgestones, terrible tram lining and very hard ride, changed to Conti SC 3, much better, and the Conti SC 5 are even better, the first run flats I have used that actually feel as if they have some measure of comfort, less rumble and fidgeting over any rough surface. Very pleased, new so cannot comment on wear. Tread depth 7mm measured from new.

Writing about the Dunlop SportMaxx RT given 54% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 spirited miles
Using these on a BMW 325ti.

The RT is very quiet and has good initial bite on turn-in. However, it's very non-progressive in its behaviour - initial grip is strong but this is then given up far too quickly.

They may suit overweight, nose-heavy FWD cars very well, due to that strong initial grip on turn-in and the good ride quality, but on a RWD car they're mediocre at best - it's very difficult to get a progressive slide out of the back end. You get understeer as the back end grips, then snappy oversteer as it gives up. Mildly amusing as long as you have lots of run-off and a forgiving car, but on, for example, an S2000, they'd be terrifying.

They're a poor show for Dunlop, especially given the price is on a par with the current Goodyear Eagles. I've run two sets of ancient and theoretically inferior Goodrich G-Grips on the same car, and even nearly down to the cords, they're progressive and easy to find the limit with. Not so the Dunlops.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR Run flat given 60% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 60000 average miles
ive drive a BMW 323 and run flats would be the only option for the car as it has no spare tire nor a compartment for it. if not for the fact that i have to use it i`ll definitely change to another type of tire. Average grip on dry surface and i must say very poor wet grip , the car slips and aquaplane everytime it rains here in Malaysia(it rains a lot here btw).i drive between 60 to 100km/h and no more if it rains as im not really confident about the grip. one must think that well it must be only good for 1 thing and that is RUNFLATS. here the story ive puncture my tire once and drove it to the nearest tire shop which is about 30km and drove around 60km/h. arrived at the tire shop only to discover the tire is unusable anymore its almost shredded beyond repair. BMW please no more RUNFLATS. its pricey , bad wet grip and driving while having a puncture would mean a replacement WTH???
