Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Radar Dimax Sport 225-45-17 BMW 530d Auto SE LCI 4,000 miles September 16, 2026

I bought these based on cost, to say have been pleased is putting it mildly. They are fitted to an E60 530d BMW, they transformed its handling. When I bought the BM some 6yrs ago it had run flats, they were binned at first opportunity, Goodyears run flats are dangerous in my opinion no feel no grip horrible. put on Avon ZV7 which werent bad. But the difference with these Radar Dimax Sports is huge, it now handles in wet and dry, I ve been driving for 40yrs so fairly experienced, I would recommend these Radar to anyone they are a very good Tire, dont let the unknown name put you off

Vredestein Ultrac Satin 235-45-17- BMW 530d Auto SE LCI 9,000 miles April 12, 2024
These are not a bad tire, they do everything well, they are a comfort orientated tire and in that area they are Good. I got them as affordable Tires when switching from Runflats which were on the Car(Runflats are Horrible Things Dangerous No Grip) I think its fair to say I am a experienced driver after 40yrs and well over the 2million miles driven, these tires have given me no nasty surprises they have been driven at high speeds in Germany well over 120mph nice and stable, in the wet they let you know conditions are wet, one could argue they have been designed to let you feel its wet without losing grip, I have them only front axle, so steering only on my car, they dont let lose suddenly, if i get a bit of understeer in the wet its done very politely needing just a tuck off the throttle to bring the grip back. What they do lack is that feel and response that encourages confidence if your a keen driver, my car is by no means a sports model, but she can lift her skirt and run 155mph so no slug, and they have been easy to live

Primewell PZ900 225-55-16-V BMW 530d Auto SE LCI 21,000 miles August 23, 2016
Put 4 of these on 3 yrs ago, not out of choice but due to budget or rather lack of. Despite the fairly detrimental reviews they really weren't that bad, bit noisy, but gripped well in dry and while wouldn't push them in the wet they weren't prone to aquaplaning. Lasted 21k miles but are now shredded. Good value for money.

Firestone Winterhawk 3 225-50-17-H BMW 530d Auto SE LCI December 7, 2015
Excellent dry and wet grip, super quiet, super comfortable. I had previously Continental, and I must say that these tires are nozaj excellent and I dare say that even better.

Kumho Ecsta KU39 225-45-17- BMW 530d Auto SE LCI 12,000 miles November 30, 2015
I'm always in a hurry, take corners and accelerate very hard. When i got the car, it had these tires on the rear and though they were at 3mm they lasted until May, around 4 months - 8k.
I replaced them with the same tires (Kumho Ecstas) and i've done around 12k (6 months) since then and they are now totally worn so they have worn quite well tbh.
Dry grip they are very good, in the wet they aren't bad and do keep it together.
My only gripe is that ever since they were fitted there has always been a vibration at 70-90mph. Removed and rebalanced twice with no luck, this was the same issue with the previous set so i'm not buying again. But i would recommend these tires.
