Les meilleurs pneus pour la BMW 330i M SPORT SALOON

J'ai utilisé trois jeux de ces pneus, en 17 et 18 pouces, au fil des ans. Voici ce que j'ai constaté après environ 50 000 km :

L'adhérence sur sol mouillé est excellente avec des pneus neufs, mais se dégrade rapidement après environ 10 000 km. Elle devient ensuite très imprévisible, et parfois même effrayante, avec des départs en survirage soudains et inattendus.

L'adhérence sur sol sec est correcte. Cependant, à l'état neuf, la gomme tendre rend le pneu mou et donne une sensation de flottement. Une fois usés à environ 60-70 %, on a l'impression de conduire un tout autre pneu.

Deux des trois jeux ont présenté des problèmes de structure : les courroies se sont séparées après une usure de 40 à 50 %. Je ne les rachèterais pas et je déconseille fortement leur achat. C'est un problème de sécurité majeur. De plus, leur rapport qualité-prix est mauvais puisqu'elles tombent en panne avant d'être usées.

J'ai utilisé les Bridgestone Driveguards RFT, après 15 000 km passés à ces pneus de performance et dans l'ensemble, j'en suis très satisfait. C'est un peu bruyant par rapport aux MPS, mais pneu très adhérent et progressif. Cependant, ces pneus sont conçus pour être utilisés en été, une fois que je les ai utilisés en hiver et qu'ils étaient toujours adhérents et solides sur les routes enneigées. Je recommande fortement ces pneus si vous ne pouvez pas vous permettre des MPS.

Je viens de conduire (commence à devenir slushy) pour la première fois depuis l'achat de ces pneus et ils sont exceptionnellement bons. Presque aussi bons que les bons pneus d'hiver.

Je ne m'attendais pas à ça!

I have put the Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2 on a Lexus IS200, BMW330i and MB C200 Kompressor, and each time I would appreciate the levels of grip, comfort and road noise. On the Lexus it replaced Bridgestones to give me the quietest & comfortable ride I was looking for with masses of improved grip. On the BMW it replaced the standard fit Run Flats, the increase in comfort was night & day and a must for those running Run Flats although the trade off was less precision and feedback on the turn in, but grip was great. On the Mercedes C200, it was just massively comfortable. Overall I found the grip to be very good in wet & dry, ride is comfortable and quiet and the wear over a few years was very good. Hence I recommend these to everyone I know.

I also posted a review of the Sport Contact 6 which was pretty good but still contemplating using these or the new Goodyear AS3 next.

Paid premium for these. Rather disappointed as it isn't a big improvement over the old ones

Cornering in the wet and dry was good. If the road was wet the wheels would spin quite easily when taking off from a stand still. Comfort I don't really know about, nothing really feels comfortable with msport suspension. Wear was pretty bad, rears are basically bald after 10000miles, 1500miles of that was on road trips with spirited driving and the other 8500miles was on straight roads driving normally doing 60mph. The fronts still have at least half their tread left so might keep them on the front, but will probably go with something else on the rears as they cost about $450 per tyre.

Grip in the dry is very good, enough grip to really push the car hard, but also loose enough so as to feel loose enough to have fun (ie easily get the back end out) this is perfect for me but some of my track day grip junkie friends don't like this.
Wet grip is just outstanding, standing water is no drama, only thing that catches it out is grease but that's just a given.
Road feedback is ok but these are a soft tyre, so where you do feel some tyre roll and squash in hard dry corners this is made up for in comfort. IMO it's an acceptable compromise on a road car in the UK.
The way these tyres reach their limit and pass it brilliant and so predictable, very confidence inspiring, and also a poor influence on you tempted you to kick that back end out more and more!
Wear is what lets these tyres down sadly, fronts are fine plenty of life, but the tears have worn out after 6000 miles. These were hard miles with lots of launches and skids, but other tyres with similar treatment have faired much better, for the price however I am still very satisfied and don't feel out of pocket in the slightest.
As mentioned before comfort is brilliant soaking up bumps with ease, and as a side note absorbed a rather strong impact with a curb after some SnapBack on a greasy corner slide (driver error) with no bulging or tears and protected the wheel well.
I would definitely buy again, admittedly not for my next tyres alas I want to try something new purely for curiosity!!! Fitted to an e46 330i on ac schnitzer racing suspension in 225/45r17 front 245/40r17 rear on 8.5j wheels with et43 offset.

I use them only on front wheels. They have very good grip at the limit even in wet weather. Although they give little too soft feeling from wheels on the edge, still not lose control.
They are quite noisy and not too good in fuel saving or wear time, but its a sport tyre, so I dont take this as a problem.

Just bought some Nitto Invo's after using the Toyo T1 proxes. I think the Nitto's are much better performing in the wet and dry. Can't judge wear just yet, but i would say these tires are equal to that of a set of Michellin's. Bloody good tire and you can't go wrong

I recently bought a BMW 330i M Sport, it came with these tires fitted as I believe they are OE spec. Having owned many cars and having used tires like Conti's, Goodyear, Pirelli I was quite happy to find the car came with a good premium brand tyre.

However driving with them is another story, an extremely harsh ride over even the smallest bump and potholes. Tramlining at high speeds. In the wet you really have to go easy as they feel like your driving on plastic. They seems to have all the characteristics of a budget tyre.

I don't think I'll be buying these again, it seems a shame that a company like BMW who are known for quality decide to fit such poor tires to a car.
