BMW 335i Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 given 97% (255-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
A lot more comfortable than the regular Michelin pilot 4S. Very comfortable over rough roads for the type of tire that it is. 2015 335 xDrive with M adaptive suspension. Very progressive tire, feels very natural at the limit. No twitchy break away at the limit unlike the 4S. Though the 4S star spec(BMW spec) is softer and just as comfortable but at what cost.

Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 easy going miles
I brought a second hand BMW 335i with new PSS * at all corners.
225/40 R18 & 255/35 R18
Dry handling is very good, good grip and even better once up to temperature.
Wet handling, is a no. Traction control kicks-in too often, understeer is never far either. And I nearly lost the rear once in a normal curve at normal speed, the ESP saved me.
Aquaplaning seams to arrive fast as well.
Wear is good, I'm not an aggressive driver. Front tires are still very fine. Rear have maybe 35% left after 40000km.
For the Noise, I have nothing to compare with. Same for comfort. But my winter tires are more comfy (Gislaved Eurofrost).
I'll choose something different next time as in Belgium we have quite some rainy days.

Driving on mostly motorways for 1500 spirited miles
Really good tires . Dry grip is the best I experienced on the road tire. Very progressive when losing grip. The car is very stable on high speed corners. Incredible wet grip. Nice comfort for performance tire. I've been driving them since 2500km. and I'm very happy. 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear.

Driving on mostly motorways for 145 miles
I have only 145 miles on these tires but I had comfort while driving and road noise was little to none.I pushed them to triple digits in the dry and wet and they felt solid.Other than a slight vibration which I suspect wheel balancing could be better, but the tires are decent for the price.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 given 91% (235-45-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 spirited miles
I use these as my winter tires on my E92 BMW Alpina B3S Allrad which is based on the 335ix They are quite a brilliant tire that reassure me on and through the the worst of winter conditions. I have driven my car across The Alps and other mountain ranges during quite bleak blizzard conditions with these tires on and they simply don’t put a foot wrong. Although it’s not compulsory and there’s no legal obligation upon me to use winter tires on my car where I currently reside, I am convinced that every car, even those with 4WD or AWD should change to winter tires when the temperature drops to +7C or below. Just talk to my friend who recently put his 4WD BMW X5 through a ditch after it slid on ice, after swearing to me that very day that he didn’t need winter tires as all four of the wheels on his X5 are driven. He now uses winter tires….. Now, the Alpin 5 tires are very supple and provide me with all that I want or need for winter driving. Good under braking and accelerating, good on turning and direction changes and quite simply excellent on even the heaviest of snow covered navigable roads.

Dry and wet grip are quite similar with the main drawback of the tire being the durability. Road noise is very good i.e. quiet.

Great Value economy tire, sport appearance without the performance. Its just an average tire: not good, not terrible... you get what you pay for. Sidewalls are a weak point. Under-inflated driving will quickly damage this tire.

Writing about the Falken Azenis FK510 given 87% (265-30-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 spirited miles
Look no further - so I went with the falken FK510s after extensive research into finding the ideal tire to replace the god awful run flats from factory - as the FK510s have a superior sidewall construction they provide the support of the run flats without the harsh, alloy cracking downfalls. In terms of grip, wet or dry, excellent, I was running in the 500bhp category and struggled to make the rear slip when new. Bad points - life expectancy isn't great, but not the tires fault, fronts will last for many many thousand miles but with my sprirted driving, the rears will last around 12 months with every day use, although fully legal tread, I did notice some slip starting to occur at about 60-75% through its life. With that said, I wouldn't buy any other tire for cars designed with run flats....

Can't really fault this tire or the previous one, althcar, i don;t know about wear as I'm a spirited weekend driver so tend to not care about that or notice that much when it comes to changing tires. Been on Michelins for around 5 years now and will never swap to another tire now.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect given 79% (235-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 7000 average miles
Previously used original Michelin PSC2, Pirelli PZ4 and Michelin PSS. Compared to original PSC2, wet grip and aquaplaning resistance are massively improved, it took me a while to build trust in the wet, having had some moments on PSC2s before, but they are almost as good as PSS incredibly. Dry grip and handling limits are beyond sensible road driving, but the tires always feel special, you know you're on good shoes at all speeds, but as they wore, became more like you'd expect a track tire to feel; tramlining etc. Ride quality is firm but good, noise on poor surfaces is high, but on good surfaces almost silent. I like tires that convey the surface well and they do that better than any other road tire I've used. Like the old PSC2s and PSS, dry and wet grip go off noticeably under 7C ambient temp. I do a lot of miles and wear is not as good as the old PSC2, the rears went under the limit after 7k miles, I got over 10k from the old PSC2s and 17k from the previous PSSs, Pirelli PZ4s were at 2mm in under 10k on this car. With my head I'd choose PSS or maybe try PS4S for my road driving, but I'd wish I still had the ultimate; so my heart ordered another set!
