BMW F11 M550d xDrive Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S given 100% (275-30-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Absolutely Brilliant. They are one whole step better than the PS4 which I have driven in size 245/40R18 on a RWD 530d E61. The dry grip is outstanding. Very comfortable and quiet. The M550d touring comes stock with Dunlop runflats and these PS4s are just on a whole different playing field. Not to mention that the rear Dunlops both failed catastrophically by delaminating from the steel beads and bursting at 240km/h and with an age of the tires just one year old with 4mm still left on the tread. Very happy with this tire.

Writing about the Goodyear Excellence given 71% (245-40-19-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 9000 average miles
These tires came factory-fitted to a set of OEM rims. When I purchased them, they had already seen quite some miles and were in their third season. They had about 5,5 mm tread left. I was originally just interested in the rims but decided to give the tires a chance as well. Let me also mention that these were the run-flat version of the Goodyear Excellence.

The tires have impressed me. They are a bit noisy on rough asphalt like the one we usually have in Norway. But during a trip to Italy and on the Autobahn, noise was no issue. Dry grip is also fair. But when pushed, they will slip. As for wet performance; well I have had better tires. They are quite OK but when going fast in heavy rain you notice that they will gradually loose contact. The good thing is that this happens gracefully so you do get some warnings.

All in all I can recommend the tires if you are after all round performance and don't need tires that excel under specific conditions.
