Best Tires for the BMW 530i M sport

Saw some negative reviews after buying these so wanted to give my view. They’re better than I expected and seem a lot better than some older reviews, not sure what some people expect for a mid priced tire. They grip really well and the handling on the car is very good. They look like a good tire, don’t look cheap. Not sure what road feedback means so haven’t scored that, likewise ‘how progressive they are at the limit’- I’m no pro driver but to me these seems like good option away from the big brands.

I had these tires before replacing them with michelin ps4s. Honestly, I liked the PSS better. It's barely noticeable but it's there. I felt like the PSS was just more direct, more responsive, I don't know exactly how to describe it. The ps4s is an amazing tire too, dont get me wrong. However, just like all michelin tires I've owned over the years, by the sixth year, the PSS had developed cracks even though the car was parked indoor in a garage. I had the PSS for a little over 9 years, and once I dismounted them, I noticed the inside was almost completely torn. Still better than my ps4, which suffered from the same fate after only 6 years, but it's pretty scary. Michelin claimed their tires can last 10 years, but I never got to the 10th year, especially if the car is driven daily. I still had lots of tread left on my PSS, so I guess in terms of wear it was pretty good. Much, much better than my old PS2, which was almost completely bald after only 4 years. Overall, the PSS is an excellent tire.

Had these on my BMW 530M sport some years ago when i purchased it they were quite new so i decided to try them not the sort of tires i would usually use,needless to say please don't buy these they are terrible tires in the wet you never know when they are going to let go and you get to see the back end rather a lot, gives the traction control light a good work out though. Dry grip is poor to fair, the rears did not ware very well and wore out on the inside edges i have had no problems with other tires doing this ie pirelli and Michelin. Save your money and invest in better rubber than this.

Fitted to and E61 530i - Awful tires.

Wasn't told by the tire shop that they were summer tires, so that's partly to blame - but terrible regardless.

Grip is non existent if below 5 degrees or so, meant to be used above 7 degrees only, but even then they're poor. Stuck the back out on a roundabout lightly accelerating when temps were about 12 degrees.

In the wet theyre just as bad. Its now almost summer and wheels span in the rain while accelerating on the motorway.

Been on for about 50 miles and im already going to replace them.

Side note - just me in the car - wouldn't even use them temporarily with the kids in it. Surprised they've even passed safety standards

From my perspective; couldn't recommend these highly enough. I run winter alloys & tires on my BMW E39 530i Sport touring from late October to generally March the following year and this time I've gone with the AVON WV7s in 235/45/17 fitment, to go on OEM 17" alloys. My family has property in the Scottish Highlands and just for the runs up there in Dec, Jan & Feb; up the M6/M74/M80 and A9 etc; they're worth it just for that! Those roads in those months are generally sodden and cold; and then further up the A9 it can either be just very cold; or icy and cold or fairly well snowed in... Where the property is; just in a small village off the A9; the roads don't get treated & it can be a nightmare (as can the roads that surround us at home; local country B roads that are usually covered in standing water over winter unless it's unusually dry/cold) These tires in Feb 2019 got me down very snowed in roads in the Highlands on my tour trying to find historical manhood stones and it also got us onto the main carpark at the Cairngorm, whereas my fathers XDrive X3 was stuck on its summer tires, spinning... Their drive & feedback is very good; a very smooth and quiet ride for winters; dry handling at speed (if it's a bit warm) can be a bit squishy-feeling; but cold temps they're superb. Wet handing is fantastic and superb grip through standing water etc... As for the wear; I can't comment as I don't don't the mileage

Superb tires; as good, if not better, than the likes of Eagle F1s and PS4s in my opinion. Having gone through various tires in the past on previous BMW saloons 9E38s and E39s); I've always found they can handle very differently on tires; better on premium tires, but not much better than excellent mid-range tires like RainSport 3s and Vred Ultrac Vorti's. I've also found the likes of the PS4s gert very hard and drone a lot when they're through the first 2-3mm of the softer rubber. For me, it's very noticeable and it goes against them. Having run 18 and 19" alloys and tires on my previous BMWs; I've tended to always go for the RainSport 3s or Vreds; unfortunately Uniroyal don't do the rear sizes I want (I run 245/40 and 275/35 18" tires); I could have gone to the tried and tested Nexen N'Fera SU1s, which again, I find to be an excellent tire, about the best of any 'budget' tire out there IMO. But, I wanted to go 'premium' but without the premium price, so I went back to the Vredestein's and do not regret it one jot. Excellent grip both wet & dry, superb handling, a slightly stiffer sidewall, so excellent feedback and smooth/quiet/comfy to boot. Highly recommended

Superb tire, changed from Pirellis and don't regret it for a moment. Local tire dealer recommended these as an alternative, initially I wasn't impressed, not least because I couldn't see how a tire that was sixty pounds cheaper than the equivalent Pirelli was actually going to be better but the guy in the Tire show was insistent and promised a money back refund If I didnt like them...how could I refuse, plus the money saved could be used for a few cases of Hardy's anniversary Rose!
Well to say I was astonished would be an understatement...they were so much quieter! suddenly it felt like I was riding on a magic carpet!... I hadn't realised how noisy the Pirellis were until I tried these, the transformation in handling, road noise and grip, especially in the wet, was simply unbelievable.
Im not generally taking in by marketing blurb, mainly because I work in that industry so know its all a load of codswallop full of catchy bylines and flashy images and besides, a tire is a glorified rubber band at the end of the day, how different can all these brands really be?
Well forget it, the Uniroyal RS3 is incredible value for money, they outperform my Pirellis and actually have a great looking tread pattern that is just the right side of 'not too aggressive but still sporty' all the while complimenting the look of the car

Very satisfied customer, so much so I even dropped off a case of that Hardy's Rose to the guys at the tire shop.

Well first not a tire I had ever heard of, came as new already fitted to the new alloys so guess was fitted as part of the wheel tire package.
I don't do budget never have never will but seeing as these were brand new and could not afford to replace at the time I thought I might as well wear them out first. First the plus points for what is a budget brand these are a very quiet tire with quite low road noise in all driving conditions. I noticed most of the reviews for these appear to come from overseas were the weather is hot, I guess this is why most people give handling the thumbs up. True on a dry sunny day in the UK these tires for what they are don't feel to bad fairly positive with dry grip and handle ok as long as you don't push to hard.
Wear wise you cannot complain they do last well but unfortunately this is probably the hard compound composition of the tire which on a hot sunny day warms up nicely to give you dry road holding.
But wait just before you rush out and buy some. Wet handling is all but lethal my poor car has to be driven like it's on egg shells there is no warning when these tires just lose grip and break free no warning at all, Traction control works overtime. I have had several close calls on wet or mildly moist roads even nearly losing the back end accelerating in a straight line. Wet breaking is terrible with longer stopping distances than I would care for. In the wet you just don't get any feedback apart from a feeling of UN ease and a tire you cannot trust.
I can't wait to change these soon and be able to drive the car how it should be with a feeling of confidence and handling to match, going back to my Michelin brand asap going for a set of pilot sport 4s

Great tires which I would recommend for anyone driving an E60 BMW. Very comfortable and quiet. Great grip in the dry and in wet conditions. My vehicle has nearly 300bhp and these tires coped very well with the power. I had previously run on Conti's which I must admit are sheer class, particularly in wet conditions but these Nexen Tires were just as good and for a fraction of the price. The only difference is that with the Conti's, the traction control warning light never engaged but it did on a few occasions with the Nexen's although this was nothing serious to worry about. These tires suited my vehicle perfectly and were recommended to me by a tire specialist - he was spot on! Great tires in terms of wear too with my rear tires getting nearly 25,000 miles.

I absolutely hate these tires. What a waste of my hard earned money.

I did do a little research before buying theses tires and must admit that most of them weren't good. But I chose to ignore them and thought maybe they are one of statements out of millions of customer. I thought I would play it safe and by buying runflat tires for my BMW 530i (272hp) and buy tires that Blackcircles has BMW recommend/approved logo on it, but boy was I wrong.

Only my two rear tires needed replacing, but I thought I would change all four tires to up the performance and handling, so that all four tires would be in synchronous harmony. But this is now the biggest regret in my life.

Theses tires are shocking, I have no corner confidence now, they are extremely loud, they tram line, extremely hard ride and have no give what so ever. They also very very bad when the tires are cold.

And I am confident it is not a problem with my car, as my car handle extremely well before and all four tires had even wear across them, which means tracking and wheel alignment was fine.

Avoid at all costs.
