BMW X1 25D Xdrive Tires

Good tires for the price. I drive fast on winding roads. The tire is better than I expected. It is quiet at higher speeds 130-160 km/h. The steering response is good, there is not much tire flex in the curves on the road. The ride is precise at high speeds. I may not be an expert, but even though I drive fast, it has not let me down so far. It has its limits, like any tire, but when you discover them, you can trust it. My car is with all-wheel drive, so maybe my experience does not apply to everyone. I have had them on my car for the second summer season and I notice a difference due to age, it is slowly losing traction. It still looks good, the tire depth is good. I think it will last another season. I have to pay attention to the transition from dry to wet roads, in the first moments it is very unpleasant, the tire loses contact with the road. After a short time it returns to normal, but you have to be careful on wet roads. Most people won't mind, but drivers who like to drive fast in the rain should know that this tire is not for that. To summarize/ good price-quality ratio, it can compete with expensive tires.

I was initially interested in this tire from the reviews both from our man, and from other sources. I was initially pleased by the comfort and the grip in general but surprised by a behavior I noticed only on this tire: the load shift on a fast bend, especially if you touch the brakes, is so bad I need to correct on the steering, something that I never had to do on any other tire on this car, both runflat and not. Makes it feel like the car’s suspension is suddenly perished, this at 2,2bar (front) and 2,3 bar (rear). Things got better by raising the pressure significantly, now it’s at 2,5/2,7 and the tire feels much better, but still does that thing on fast bends, especially on a particular narrow bend downhill. I hate it and this alone would not make me choose this tire again, it never happened with other brand and tires and I had Conti Sport Contact 5, Falken (not UHP), Yokohama V105… i think it could be due to the rigidity of the sidewall, but go figure

Absolutely dreadful, collected my 20k miles BMW X1 with these things on and my god are these things LOUD and uncomfortable! ! my part exchange was a Skoda YETI and it was absolutely silent in comparison with Potenza S02s on it. I don't care how much ware there is left on them they are being swapped for anything that's quieter than these! Absolutely the WORST tire I've had in 40+ years driving!

High Road noise and poor in snow. Poor fuel return

Excellent tire, I bought them at the end of this winter season, right after I purchased my new X1 (F48) 25D Xdrive. Tire in dry, wet and snow. Have not tested on ice. Very smooth, progressive with a good road feedback, and extremely comfortable and quite. Highly recommend this tire for winter, of the very few existing in this dimension and of this car.
