BMW E46 330i Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 81% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
Was looking for a premium SPORTS tire and chosing between Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 5. As Jonanthan (TireReviews) pointed out in one of his videos PS4 is less sporty. I would even add that PS4 has softer tire contact patch as oposed to Asymetric 5. In my experience Asymetric 5 is a very good summer tire. Rain/aquaplaning no problem. Noise OK. Comfort levels high - road bumps are absorbed easily. In terms of how sporty the tire is there are mixed feelings. On one hand its reactions to steering input are quick and the car feels agile on the other hand the feedback sadly is muted (previously had Toyo tire set with very hard sidewall/low comfort but very good feedback)and this significantly reduces overall feeling of the tire . Not sure if high sidewall (225/45/R17) is to blame but at least in my configuration Asymetric 5 feels like top level touring tire with some sport credentials due to this I prefer to have moderate driving as oposed to spirited driving style. When replacement is due I will look for a tire with more rigid sidewall for a better feedback.

Writing about the Cooper Weather Master SA2 Plus given 73% (225-45-17-H)
Driving on mostly town for 30000 easy going miles
Great winter (standard compound) tire at reasonable cost. It's very comfortable,soft and stable in the wet. Snow and ice performance average. After these tires I switched to nordic (soft) compound for extra grip on ice and snow.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 84% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Very good tire, good feedback, good grip. Handling is precise and predictable.
The only drawback is that it does wear quite quickly when they are hot : I have done a trackday with my daily-driven car, and they did suffer a lot but they were consistent.

There are better tires for track use, but I don't think so for a every-day tire that is quite capable.
They are on the pricey side, but there are often discounts with Michelin.
