Best Tires for the BMW 730d

Went for the Yokohama after Hankooks, which they are the best for me price/quality/comfort and regret it, as they stiffer on drive, and much much noisy, will transfer a bad quality road onto the car avoiding suspension even using pressure of 2,2 bar front and 2,4 rear, although it was recommended by the local tire shop, for their quietness. Dry weather driving it's no sweat for them, but on a little rain they will be spinning when you driving off if you just little harder on accelerator pedal. 265 here on rear wheel drive, no crazy driving, automatic BMW 730d G11.

Considering this is a studless winter tire for Nordic climates this tire does everything well. The tire feels great to drive on in all conditions. Before I bought this tire I was a bit unsure if it was the correct choice. On snow the tire has fantastic grip with a slight oversteer balance which makes for a very fun driving experience. On ice it goes for the same only with slightly less grip. However when the tire slides into understeer, for example in a roundabout, it takes a while to find grip. In dry and wet conditions it feels like a softer summer tire. The grip is nice and the turn in feels sharp. However in all conditions it struggles with a long breaking distance.

Shockingly bad in the wet. I have new 7 series xDrive. Tires were produced 8 weeks ago and fitted 2 weeks ago. Drove through roundabout at moderate speed in the rain, under steer (in xDrive!) and slides 1 meter almost crashing into another car on the round about. On the way back on motorway standard 70 mph, some rain and when chanting lanes back or the car lost grip twice (oversteer). Premium tires recommended as best for 7 series by BMW!!! Those are the worst tires I ever had and it costed me £1500 (rear tires wider and more expansive). Stay away from those.

i am amazed with performance of MAXXIS it is more responsive and comfortable than yokohama, michelin and continental.

I had to write this review purely because of the most upvoted review here. That person admits they are bad on greasy wet roads but says simple solution. "Dont Race" that is without doubt the most ridiculous advice ive ever heard with regard to fixing a tires poor grip. So what happens if you need to swerve to avoid an animal or person or if you need to brake hard. I had these tires on my old bmw. They were on it when i bought it. As the other person said, in the dry they are a fine tire, absolutley nothing wrong with them and if you live somewhere that never sees rain then yes they are a decent option and decent value for money. I am from Ireland, where there are as many if not more wet days a year than dry. When it rains these tires are without doubt worse than anything ive ever experienced . Not bordering on dangerous they are actually lethal. How there is no standard that must be achieved for wet grip of a tire is beyond me. These are far far worse than full bald tires ive driven with on the wet. Please please dont think they will do . They wont. Pick any other tire that you are given an option of because these could cost you your life. Maybe that other person lives in a city where they never go above 50kph(30mph) i dont know and never experienced how truely dangerous these tires are. I changed them and got hankooks at the time and the car was transformed. Please please saty away from accelera phi. They are so dangerous in the wet

Excellent dry grip. Good but not amazing wet grip . Excellent road feedback . Sharp handling . But absolutely awful wear. Cant believe the ratings people are giving fpr wear. I can only assume they have only recently got the tires. Mine were worn out in under 7000 miles and i wasnt driving the car hard. Overall if you jave unlimited money and want the best sports tire then yes these are excellent . If you are putting these on an everyday car for commuting then think again these are overrated

I have these tires on my current BMW E65 730D on 20" Style 149 alloys and they're very good tires indeed.

Bought them off the back of owning them on some 18" alloys on a previous E39 530i and again, I found them to be very good, with great grip and driving feedback

They grip very well in the dry and very well in the wet also. Their feedback is good, not a lot of road noise and they make for a very compliant ride as well.

For their price I think they'd be very hard to beat with any other tire!

Absolutely shocking - I have had 7 of these tires now in 18 months - all punctured. As a result I will never by a BMW again - nor will I buy a run flat tire again.

Excellent tire for the money . strong grip in the dry or wet . much better than my old Michelin Pilot Primacy and wearing very well indeed on what is a heavy car . Bmw 730d . currently on 15k miles . only criticism would be they could improve when it comes aquaplaning . not super bad but other tires are better . wet grip is superb though . all round a truely surprising result , highly impressed

Over the years I have paid £175 for similar sized Yokohama or Falcon tires and I simply can't see any difference in performance or wear.
At £55 a tire online for 19" tires you simply can't go wrong. Dealers quoting about £85. Icant believe some of the reviews on here as I've nothing bad to say about them.
I have used Accelera PHI on my 2008 BMW 730 for over 2 years. I do 15,000 a year and am about to put my third set on the front. The rears had the 2nd set about 6 months ago. They are good for 12-15k miles, just the same as the top end tires. I drive at legal speeds (Mostly) but the tires are fine at high speeds and when flooring it.
I've been driving for 20 years, and have always gone for Mid Range Tires as I thought this was a sensible compromise. But I will always buy these tires going forward. Win Win all round.
