BMW 520D M Sport Touring Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero PZ5 given 100% (255-35-19)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 miles
I replaced my Continental Sportcontact 7 with Pirelli P Zero PZ5s. The Continentals were very good in the dry and wet, the Pirellis are better.
I've had Goodyear Asymmetric 6, Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Falken Azenis 520.
But the Pirellis are very, very good.

Writing about the Nexen N Fera SU1 given 87% (275-35-19)
Driving on mostly motorways for 30 average miles
Fitted to my 520d MHT touring at 24,426 to replace the OEM which had failed an MOT. I have covered a further 30,000 and replaced with with Nexen. See below is a photo of the tire removed. Fitter said could have done more miles!. Ride and handling better than RFT and comfort too. Wear is very uniform and no punctures or bulges. I do check them weekly and keep the recommended pressure correct.

Driving on a combination of roads for 24000 average miles
Bought the car second hand from a non franchise dealer who fitted x4 non run flat tires as a requirement of the sale. I had not come across Nexen previously but after 25000 trouble free miles I have been pleased with their overall performance. When compared to the OEM tires fitted to my previous 520d I found the ride to be more comfortable and no loss of wet/dry grip or fuel economy. The rears are due for a change so I will look at Nexen brand again.

Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
I really liked these tires on my BMW. They gripped really well, and never slipped even at end of life. I would have preferred to get a little bit more miles from them but at 18,000 miles, but they are now on the minimum wear markers. The only down side is the cost to replace them. I would love to get them again, but they have shot up in price in the last 2 years.

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 RFT given 80% (275-40-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 30 average miles
I'm using them on my BMW 520d G31 M Sport, quite happy with those tires and maybe because I drive a lot on the motorway (normal driving) lasted over 50k miles on the front (245/45/18) and over 30k on the rear (275/40/18). Pretty noisy on the road (run flat...) and not very good on wet, but I'm definitely going to use them again.

Runflat version. These are probably the most comfortable runflat's I've driven on. Dry and wet handling are both tidy, nothing too sporty but safe and predictable. Seem to wear pretty well too.

Writing about the Vredestein Quatrac Pro given 48% (245-40-19-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 average miles
WARNING! If you've got a RWD car and are looking to buy these in order to keep you moving in winter, DON"T. After a light snowfall I tried to climb a very slight incline in my 520D, I couldn't. The car just ran out of momentum even with a run up. Never had this issue with either Bridge A005s or Goodyear V4 G2 in similar cars. I ended up reversing up the incline. Terrible tires for snow. They're fine in other conditions but that's not why people buy all weather tires.

A good all rounder grip wise, but really noisy at speed and under braking. Noise aside they a quality lost-lasting tire. Trying a set of Cooper CS-Sport next.

Writing about the Jinyu YU61 given 24% (275-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Bought the car with these tires on. I can safely say these are the worst tires I have had the displeasure of driving. The 5 series is a big car but to lose the front of the car on roundabouts with your family in is not funny. We don't drive the car hard and with these tires even less. I will be swapping them as soon as possible. Very poor performance and boarder line lethal in the wet. Would not recommend for anyone with a big car.

Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
I bought a second hand BMW 520D automatic 185ps and wanted to put a nice set of 20" wheels...but didn't want to swap it for the standerd wheels in winter...I didn't want to change the great looks in winter...So I started reading and searching the internet for a performance wintertire I could use summer AND winter. I was aware that a lot of wintertires are horrible noise makers...so I searched for a profile that I know that would be silent. After my search...I bumped into these Hankook W320 tires...and finally bought them and fitted them on my nice new AXE EX30 wheels. These tires needs a bit running in for about 500 km...but once that passed...WAWWW !!! Hankook did here an excellent job with these new W320 wintertires. I have them now for exact one year and drove 30.000 km with them. The wear is excellent and now changed them front to rear...still plenty of mm's left. These tires are also very quiet and almost as good as summertires. Also the handling in summer is really very good even when it's very hot...and in winter-wet conditions excellent. Heavy snow we didn't have last year but in those winter condition I also felt very secure with my RWD car. I know for one thing...I recommand these tires VERY MUCH...do not hesitate...and are in my opinion as good (or better) than some all season tires that are being sold...for much higher price...What is also a very good point on these Hankook...very good in pricing, even for big tires like my 255/35R20.
So in case you didn't get it....BUY THEM !!!
