275/35 R20 Tire Review Highlights
Writing about the Kumho Ecsta Sport S PS72
rated 61%
I use my car for sport driving only on deserted roads so I should preface this review with the knowledge that they have a short life especially on the rear.
Most of the 800 miles have been in wet/damp or drying conditions.
Tread depth shocked me as they are down to 4mm already.
I have no complaints about the grip, they have excellent traction in wet conditions so I have no doubt the same applies to dry.
I can’t comment on steering feel etc as they are only on the rears.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72
rated 63%
First I should preface this by the fact that these are fitted to a dedicated sports car ( 718S Cayman ) that gets driven in a spirited fashion on deserted local roads at appropriate times.
I usually get pretty shocking mileage as a result of this and do well to get over 2000 miles out of rears in dry conditions.
These were fitted about 6 weeks ago and the paltry 800 miles have been mostly wet or damp.
I’m down to 4 mm across the tread which is a bit of a shock. I should add pressures and alignment are spot on.
They definitely have a lot of traction in wet or dry. However the wear rate is the price you pay here. I think if these had been fitted in summer they would probably be finished.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta Sport S PS72
rated 70%
I am driving these tires in the dimensions 265/35 R20 at the front and 275/35 R20 at the rear on my 2020 Ford Mustang GT.
Since I previously had 19" rims, I had to look for new tires. The Kumho Ecsta Sport S came out this year and piqued my interest, especially since Kumho promised many improvements over the PS91.
Since the price was very reasonable and the preliminary tests available at the time were all positive, I ultimately decided on the Kumhos.
What was noticable was the very stiff sidewall. I can almost put my entire weight (~90 kg) on the tire without it being pressed down.
Once it was fitted, I immediately noticed the very precise and direct steering response, and that the tire is relatively comfortable despite its 20-inch size and sporty design.
The grip level with this tire is very high, regardless of whether it is dry or wet, and it conveys confidence in the car at all times.
The noise level is unobtrusive, and even potholes are well filtered.
So, everything is great? There is one point where I am absolutely disappointed, and that is wear.
When new, the tire has a tread depth of 7.1 mm, and after approx. 6500 km (~4000 miles), despite mostly calm driving (no racetrack), there is only just 5 mm of tread left at the rear and approx. 5.2 mm at the front. Since I run the tires down to a maximum of 3.0 mm for safety reasons, this means that the tires would not even last 15,000 km (assuming linear wear). The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s lasted for around 40,000 km (~25,000 mls) and still had over 4 mm of tread left!
This is truly devastating. Even though they cost only half as much as Michelin tires, I would have liked to see a higher mileage.
I don't know yet whether I will buy these tires again. The tire itself is really great, but the wear ruins the overall impression.
I am not yet certain whether I would purchase this tire again. On the one hand, it is incredibly enjoyable and gives the Mustang a significantly more direct and enjoyable driving experience while maintaining a high level of driving safety. On the other hand, the wear is abnormally high, which is definitely something to consider. My decision will depend on which alternative tires are available on the market when these tires are worn out.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S
rated 74%
The stock runflat Pirelli P0 PZ4 came with G12 M760i is nothing about comfort or performance. I went for 4 PS4S without * as there's no BMW spec PS4S with 245/40/R20 size (front, actually 275/35/R20 PS4S * is for F90 M5 front).
Pros
1. Compatible with xDrive on G12 M760i (probably also good with other AWD G12 7er models): No noise or abnormaly with the central clutchpack diff.
2. Comfy: non-runflat. Soft and cushioning. PS4S makes M760i a real 7er
3. Performance: Better 0-60. Better grip all time (not for winter). More confidence with the weight and torque, though just a little bit, after you get used to it, as the suspension might be optimized with runflats (the suspension seems too soft with non-runflats).
Cons:
1. Poor handling: The suspension is too soft with non-runflats. I know it's not fair because it's not the issue with tires. But the feel is not sporty, but kinda Rolls-Royce.

Writing about the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005
rated 61%
I bought and mounted these tires 7 months ago, for the last winter, driven less than 10'000 km. Changing back to summer tires on my BMW X40i and guess what? I have to throw the Blizzak tires away, because they are worn out! No aggressive driving, no heavy load, almost no driving in warm weather (a few hundreds of km in the Spring). They are gone. I never saw something like this. That means, goodbye Bridgestone!

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero PZ4
rated 59%
I installed the tires as a BMW * product. Really need some heat in them in order to perform. Very good grip limits on dry, not that great on wet as advertized in comparison to similar series products from others (PS4s / GY ASSY6). Keep performing decently even after 25k km. Worst part of the experience is the high wear rate where on 25k km they are down to below 3mm of tread depth and in comparison the the very high purchase price they come out as very expensive to use. Will go for another option on the next change.

Writing about the Pace ALVENTI Pace
rated 87%
Jaguar XJ SuperSport 510BHP SWB 2010... Well; the Dunlop Tires are absolute rubbish and even with light acceleration all over the road. Bought these tires for front and back and put on my spare set of wheels. Had my original wheels reverbed so put my spare wheels on with these Pace Alventi tires and I'm not joking they are much better than the ridiculously expensive Dunlop tires jaguar recommends and at a fraction of the cost; everything seems better... Better grip & handling and quiter on road noise. I don't use the car often so i cannot judge the last ability as yet as not had then long enough to make an accurate assessment, but everything surpasses my expectation for what is referred to as a budget Tire. Definitely recommend these...

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6
rated 36%
By far the worst tire I drove in the last 10 years.
Noise and ride comfort are all right.
Grip in dry is ok if you take it slow but as soon as you speed up in corners, the tire struggles to keep you on the road.
Wet grip and wet breaking are the worst I’ve ever experienced in my life. At first I could not believe the car would drift sideways that easy at normal acceleration on a wet road, figured that that part of tarmac must have been greasy or something. Then tried the same on 4-5 diferent places and realized just how bad and dangerous this tire is.
Wet breaking - ABS kicking in on maximum breaking at 30 km/h !?!
After driving it on 3 different occasions / days on wet roads, decided to get rid of the tire after only 2.000 km I drove it.
I cannot believe such a terrible and dangerous tire is used as an OEM and delivered as a first set you get on the car which costs over 100.000 €.
I understand it reduces CO2, but safety must be more important that CO2.
Absolutely terrible.

There is a reason people call these ‘ditch finders’. They are unstable.
They came on a 740d I purchased because the previous owner had Champaign taste but lemonade pockets. They’ve immediately been swapped out for Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2

Tire size 245/40 R20 & 275/35 R20 fitting G12 7er
Superior noise control than Sottozero 3 and Michelin X-ice. Amazing comfort, in comparison among whatever runflats or non-runflats. Very good winter tires for limos.
Performance is a bit of disappointing. There’s no magic for winter tires putting down all 590 lb-ft torque on snowy days, even M760i is all-wheel drive, which they are supposed to be. Lateral grip on dry road is pretty good, bringing the confidence and feeling when cornering with summer tires back to winter days. Ice grip is poor while the grip on packed snow is even worse. Wet grip is not quite decent either.
Would definitely repurchase for the comfort a limo just need. But in scope of performance, think twice on the trade-off: snow/ice grip, which are the definitive advantage of winter tires over summer tires, for summer tire-class (P0 PZ4 runflat? Definitely not Michelin PS 4 S class) lateral grip on dry roads.
Conclusion:
Pros: Awesome comfort and noise control; good lateral grip and responsiveness
Cons: Poor ice grip and snow grip.

I drive MB E220d All terrain 4matic, front tires are 245/40R20 and rears 275/35R20. Fitted them in July and made approximately 5000 km with them. Dry grip is good, I am not a sporty driver, driving style covered in written mileage is mostly highway and b roads as well as city driving. Driving in wet is little slippery until they don't warm up, afterward is very good. Regarding wear, after 5000 km I don't see any signs of wear. Overall I am very satisfied with ttires especially with price I have bought it for.

One of the best all around tires for living in Maryland with a RWD vehicle. If it snows more than 4 inches I do switch to snow tires. But for the past 2 years we have had almost no snow so these have just stayed on all year long.
