BMW e46 330d sport Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3 ROF given 77% (205-55-16-H)
Driving on mostly town for 6000 spirited miles
Good winter tires, although I did not had a chance to drive it in real snow.
Frosty mornings were absolutely fine.

A bit noisy, and I was surprised that they are rated at 68db. They sound much louder than any summer tires I had.

Hold the road well at 120mph and the sidewalls strong.

Excellant tires, just a shame on the wear. fitted same day front and back. backs still a bit of wear left but fronts gone after 8000m. that was a lot of dual carrageway motoring with some nice a roads.

Driving on mostly motorways for 17500 spirited miles
I bought my car from a dealership 12 month ago with new tires, I previously drove a Seat Leon FR with Pirelli and Dunlops getting only 10-12k miles. I've had well over 17k miles on these tires. I don't drive stupidly but do drive fast and never had any problems with grip on wet or dry roads. The only problem is they are quite loud buy for the mileage I'm getting out of the tires and the safety record I'm prepared to suffer a little noise.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A given 67% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 12000 average miles
Had these on all four corners, great in the dry but not so good in the wet. Had no confidence when the road became slippy and in any snow/ice forget about it your stuck! next door neighbor has BMW 330ci with kumho tires and he managed no problem where as I spun on the spot!
Now having to change the rears after only 5 months! so won't be buying these again.

dont know if my tires are faulty but at high speed the rear of the car sways about, had run flats on prior to this and the handling was 100% better.

Writing about the Falken FK452 given 69% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 200000 average miles
Had these on all 4 corners. Really good for the money - wearing well on the back but gone thru them in about half the time of PS2s on the front which is a bit bizarre.

Some scrubbing due to tracking issues towards the end - but even so these went down quick.

Found less noise and tramlining than PS2 as well.

Still can't argue for the money.

Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
These are really impressionant tires with excelent grip in both dry and wet conditions.
I like them too because of progression and feedback. Even the road noise is good (low).
The thread os wearing evenly and I didn't have problemas like the ones withr Goodyear Eagle F1 witch became warped.
The bad points of this tire? Only one: the wear rate isn't great but it's OK for a tire of this grade (ultra high performance)

Great tires,

Good points:-
New Grip is excelent.
Dry Grip is more than enough.
Wear rate is very good.
Very little road noise.
When new, very good in the snow.
Great MPG.
Look Great, wish "FALKEN" was in white print.
Cheep.

Not so Good points:-
Grip very noticably drops off as the tires get to their wear limits, especially in the wet.
Could do with more rim protection.

Will be buying again, value for money they are far better then their rivals and much more expencive tires, without compromising on quality.
