I am extremely pleased with the tires. Especially, you feel the full quality with its superior handling and quiet driving performance. It provides excellent balance even at high speeds and increases steering control. While the rubber compound of the tires ensures long-lasting use, it also contributes to fuel economy thanks to its low rolling resistance. Overall, these tires were an ideal choice for me for a safe and comfortable driving experience. I will also change my winter tires to Continental.

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 318 coupe drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I was not keen on these tires as I wanted a sports tire due to my um spirited driving style. However, these have been a brilliant match to the car. they have exceeded nearly every expectation I had for them. In fact, even at this distance of driving them they still have about a third of the tread left unfortunately one of the side walls on the rear was cut with some debris on the road so new tires are a must. Unfortunately, money is a bit tight and I may not be able to stretch to these again.
Excellent grip in the wet ... Low road noise .... Great Milage and held grip right down to the end ...
had these fitted to the front of my car and have noticed a significant increase in performance and control especially as I had to stop quite sharply on the drive home I stopped very quickly without skidding in fact I stopped so well the car behind (who was following too closely)very nearly hit me
had these tires fitted in dec 2009 and thought they were really good still got 4mm of tread on them after 20,000. got a puncture the other day so had to take the tire off. and to my surprise the inner wall was split all the way round. on checking the others all the same so bit miffed. never rains it pours. so even tho they were cheap and theve lasted 18months. prob wouldnt buy budget tires again.
