This is just my initial review of them after around 1K miles, I've fitted these on my girlfriend's car since both her summer and winter sets were getting long in the tooth. The car doesn't get driven that much, and when it does it's mostly through town so I swallowed my tire snobbery and decided all-seasons would be a good fit. I didn't get to test them in the snow however so far they've been really good in both wet and dry but what surprised me the most was the ride quality and the (lack of) noise. Fuel consumption doesn't seem to be affected that much either. I got a really good deal on them, less than €60/tire, when most of the midrange competition is priced at 70 and above so I'm really happy with the purchase. Made in Japan too.

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.

What BMW E87 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Brought these as a risk really not knowing much about toyo's ( always bought F1's ) and there an alround good tire. Dry grip is excellent and up there with the big boys for sure. Wet grip well to say to do any say faster speed than normal speed limits of the road they do slip under you and they won't grip if pushed. Dispite large side walls they are soft so roll can be a little uncomfortable as the car does slide under you with these. The massive plus point, I've gotten 22000 miles out of these and i still have 4mm of tread left!! absolutly amazing and i do tend to thrash them in the dry to so I'm stunned at the longevity of this brand. They are a nice tire to look at which always helps but I'm sure there are better tires out there for rear wheel drives. Rainsport 2 comes to mind...just so hard to find
