BMW 330CI M Sport Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Infinity Ecomax given 86% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
I've had 255 35 18 rears and 225 40 18 fronts for the past 5 years, going through two complete sets of rears and one set of fronts. Both front and rear are shortly in need of replacing. In that time I've covered about 25,000miles on a mix of motorway and Welsh winding A-roads.

I only gave these tires a 7 for wet grip, it's actually closer to 7.5/10 or 8/10 for daily wet driving but I've had two really serious aquaplaning events which had there have been an oncoming car, I'd a-bin-a-gonner for sure. I was driving at 60mph, in the dark, on a bend and there was a flooded road stream crossing/flowing from left to right so I'm not sure that many tires would have coped in those conditions. Maybe driver error not the tire's fault.

Ok, enough of the negative! In the dry, 231bhp rear wheel drive is well under the threshold of these tires. As you go from 7.5mm new depth to 3mm, the tires just get better and better on steep bends. I'm now taking some of the bends at silly speeds (85, 90, 95). These give me more and more confidence every day to push it that little bit extra. My most enjoyable times have been versus Subaru Impreza 4x4 who I could not shift despite nearly reaching these tire's limits. The second was me chasing an Audi quatro 3.0 v6 diesel. He couldn't shift me. Mid-Wales roads.

I first came to know about Infinity Ecomax through buying a set of wheels from a chap who had them fitted to his BMW 135M. He told me that they had served him well and there were no scare stories about the tires. Having had quite a lot of experience with this brand and model, I can safely say that I would be advising friends and family to buy without hesitation.

I've just completed a mid-life BMW underbody refresh, replacing suspension parts, breaking system, hubs, barings, diff oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, power steering, coolant, engine oil. De-rust body panels, new paint where needed, brake lines and hoses, intake hoses and abs sensors all round. Finally, poly bushes on control arms, front and rear anti-roll bars (sway bars). The Ecomax fit perfectly with this car having previously had contisport 2 all round and Uniroyal rainsport 2. I wouldn't go back to spending big-bucks when these Infinity tires are my tire of choice from now-on.

Road noise more than bearable. General handling good, wet handling, ok, wear good, breaking dry - brilliant. Wet, dont know as I've never had to emergency brake in the wet. I did an emergency stop to test my new components and set-up on 15 May 2019, they were sublime in the dry. Obviously not just the tires; the whole car of which the tires are a major part! Thanks for reading.

Writing about the Delinte DH2 given 56% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
I don't usually buy budget tires, and the reason my car came to have these fitted is that they cam mounted to a set of used Alloy wheels which I bought.
These tires are a hard compound, which means that grip in the dry is good, but grip in the wet suffers. They will not throw you off of the road like some of the worst budget tires you can buy, but wet grip is well down compared to mid range or premium brands. When the temperature drops below around 10ºC the grip in wet conditions deteriorates further, and you have to be very careful on my my RWD car not to get the car sideways, even when being driven carefully with the traction control on. My advice would be to spend a bit extra and get a mid range tire at the least, but if you are really strapped for cash there are worse tires you can buy.

Writing about the Rotalla RU01 S Pace given 30% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 100 spirited miles
Bought these tires as I didn't want to spend money on big brands, they were about £25 cheaper than the bottom end of branded and £25 more expensive than a top of the range budget, in all honesty, up until this point I had always believed a tire is a tire.
However, I had two put on the rear and this tire is awful on this car, they are so flimsy on the sidewall that the car at speeds above 60mph felt unstable, past 80mph the car can barely keep in a straight line, you are constantly correcting the steering to prevent it from snaking. It basically feels like you are stuck in a heavy crosswind.

Only driven in the dry because I've made blackcircles take them back on the account of it being dangerous to drive. The turn in response is awful and the twitchiness is overwhelming.

Swapped the wheels from front to rear (which have old Michellin PS3's on) and the car was restored, rear end was responsive and tight again, but of course, the steering feel was like stirring a bowl of porridge.

Overall: Rubbish - Do not put these on your car unless maybe you're driving something like a Daihatsu or a Dacia Duster and have no interest in motoring.

Writing about the Delinte DH2 given 59% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
These car alreasy fitted to my car. I was expecting them to be real ditchfinders as they are a budget tire, but they are actually acceptably ok, providing you drive steadily. Sure, premium and most midrange tires have more wet grip, but they don't feel like you are driving on ice as soon as it rains like you often get with other budget tires. They are also quite progressive on the limit.
I am a keen driver, so will get some better rubber once they wear out or when funds allow, but if you in the market for a budget tire and little else then you could do worse.
They grip pretty well in the dry, not too noisy and wear well.

Writing about the Dunlop SportMaxx RT given 89% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly town for 11000 spirited miles
Fitted them (225/40 in the front and 255/35 in the rear) after Accelera PHI and the difference was as day and night. Where the Acceleras failed the Dunlops were astonishingly good. The grip in dry and wet is so good that it is hard to reach the limit. The tires fitted my car and my driving style as good as it can be. Almost without faults. Except one. The wear... They wear quite quickly. But it didn't suprise me a lot, because doing hard cornering and fast accelerations I was not expecting it to be different. So far, so good.

Writing about the Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 given 81% (225-45-17-T)
Driving on mostly town for 12000 spirited miles
Very good winter tire. Used it for 3 winters. When it's slushy, snowy or icy the grip is fenomenal. I had lots of situations when there was so much snow that it seams that the car will stuck on the bottom, but it didn't. Never.
However, on the wet and dry conditions it is not the best tire. They are made from soft rubber and it feels so, especially when you drive in highways on dry conditions. The car seems to be not stable when you hit more than 80 mph.
Would recommend it for nordic climate. Changing them to Dunlop Winter Sport 5 as I decided to use R18 wheels instead of R17.

Writing about the Primewell Sport 910 given 31% (255-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
So purchased these Tires based on the reviews here. Looks like the reviews are uploaded by Prime well employees as they're mostly 10/10 for everything (click on Breakdown for each review to see what I mean.

Ok so purchased these for my BMW m sport coupe. Terrible (literally) in the wet. Traction control light always flickering on. Lost it a few times driving round very slowly on roundabouts. They let go so quick. Glad the traction control saved me. These Tires are also very very noisy. Hurts my ears especially on a dual carriage way or motorway run. I am looking to get rid of these ASAP.

Writing about the Accelera PHI given 47% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Bought the car with these set of tires 225/40 R18 in the front and 255/35 R18 in the back. Useless in the wet. Driving hard in the wet makes stability control go crazy. You have to be very careful driving these in the corners on wet roads. The car not only heavily oversteers but also understeers, once I almost crashed into another car when cornering only at 35 mph. You could suspect these to be worn out, but they have more than 5 mm. Situation is much better in the dry. In general I would say these are average tires in the dry. Would not recommend for anyone that lives where the rain falls down. Changing them to Dunlop Sport Maxx RT in the nearest future.

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta given 91% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on mostly town for 14000 spirited miles
Having had asym goodyear 2 michelins ps3 among other things, I can tell you that the tire is excellent in all points. In the dry it is very very strong catchy precise, in the wet it is perfect almost no difference in adherence between the dry and the wet. It is used less than the Goodyear and much less than the Michelin. It is also less expensive, small board for owners of BMW E46 330CI, the pressures 2.4AV 2.8AR cold. My next Vorti the Vredestein. Premium brand.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 given 99% (255-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
I have these tires on the rear, I had conti sport 5's on before these and rated them very highly. But these tires are far better, they offer far better grip in the wet, and in the dry they are better (not massively as the contis in the dry were very good) and they seem to be wearing better. The DSC light comes on half as much as when I used to have the contis on, and when I have the DSC off I haven't even nearly lost it so they are very good and give good enough feedback so you wont lose it on the edge.
