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.

Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 225-45-17 BMW E92 335i 10,000 miles January 9, 2026
I moved to these tires after paying over £230 per tire for Bridgestones on my BMW.

The car produces a lot of power and torque, and these tires cope with it well. They provide steady grip and remain stable at speed.

Most of my driving is on motorways, where they feel comfortable and controlled on long journeys. When driving on country roads, the tires stay predictable through bends and uneven surfaces.

Based on my use so far, they offer solid performance and good value compared with more expensive options.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 225-45-17- BMW E92 335i November 20, 2014
Replaced Bridgestone runflats, car is transformed especially in the wet. Tram lining has completely gone and no skipping over bumps on corners. Really happy and a lot cheaper than Pirelli etc

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 225-45-17- BMW E92 335i 18,000 miles December 1, 2010
Bad, bad.
These tires do not last. Less than 20k miles is a joke. I could have accepted that if these tires were really excellent in other areas such as grip or noise - but they are not. In fact they are pretty bad in those areas too.
Get a grip BMW, and sort this mess out. I have had about 6 BMWs, and I am not thinking about another make simply because of this RFT mess.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 255-35-19-W BMW E92 335i 18,000 miles July 8, 2010
Standard fitnemt to most BMW's from factory and do not let down they dry grip is up there with Michellin PS2 and they are not that far off in terms of wet grip too. Very progressive on the limits and wear rate is not bad for a low profile tire would buy these again.

Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme 225-40-18-V BMW E92 335i 4,500 miles April 13, 2010
The first time that I've tried winter tires - with 300+BHP and RWD, I needed them in the recent snow / ice. In winter conditions these tires are fantastic - not only for traction but also for braking to a stop. Where I live the road out of our village onto the main road is nicknamed the Cresta Run as your only way to stop on ice / snow is praying. With the Vredesteins on you no longer have a problem. The only stressful part of driving on ice, is whether the guy behind can stop on his summer tires. The tires are also quiet, comfortable, and wear well. After 4500 miles I still have 8mm of tread on the front and 7mm on the back. I have now switched back to my summer tires Goodyear F1 Asymetrics. These do have better straight line stability and turn in, however I would recommend winter tires to everybody, and the Vredestein's to everybody who drives a car with large diameter wheels and low profile tires.

Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme 225-40-18-W BMW E92 335i 3,000 miles February 1, 2010
Thought I would try winter tires on what is a powerful rear wheel drive car, replacing the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric summer tires for the recent wintery conditions. Fitted 225/40/18 all round as opposed to 255/35/18 normally on the back. The Vredestein's are surprisingly quiet comfortable with good handling in normal conditions, however they are excellent in snow and ice. I will obviously switch back to the Goodyear's for summer conditions as they are better, however if I still had the original Bridgestone RE050a runflats, I would stick with the Vredestein's all year round - they are that good!

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 255-30-19-R BMW E92 335i 13,600 miles October 29, 2009
I bought the car only a few months old from BMW with the standard run flat Bridgestone Potenza tires. The rear tires are now bald on the inner edges after covering only a total of 13,600 miles and need replacing. I am astonished at only a short life and while I can put with the very hard ride and having to keep an extreme awareness of 'potholes' and sunken manhole covers, the suspension is a worse ride than my Morgan Sports car with sliding pillar suspension of 1909 era. They are the worst tires I have ever experienced in 45 years of driving and will get rid of as soon as possible!

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 225-40-18-W BMW E92 335i 49,500 miles October 20, 2009
49k miles on 2 sets 225/40/18 front & 255/35/18 rear. Wear OK but grip in wet is horrendous even 20mph slow around roundabouts induces a front slide and big understeer. I've had 4 wheel alignment checked twice in case potholes knocked it out but all correct and front tires still wear heavily on outside. If I didn't do 50% motorway miles these tires would NOT last 1/2 distance. Ride is very hard and you certainly know when you hit a road hole. VERY disappointing from Bridgestone :(
My previous BMW 330ci had Dunlop SP9000 Sport and they were brilliant.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat 255-30-19-W BMW E92 335i 18,000 miles February 21, 2009
Good grip levels in the dry but can be a bit iffy in the wet. extremely crashy ride, almost feels like there is no give in the side wall at all(i know there runflats and 30 profile....)i'm changing tomorrow to Good Year Asymetrics - non Runflats. extreme wear on the inside of both front and back potenzas, maybe a combination of m-sport suspension and runflats.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 255-35-18-W BMW E92 335i 3,000 miles July 22, 2008
Vast improvement on RE050a run flat OEMs. Better steering feel, massively better in wet, quieter and more comfortable - really improves how an already great car drives. Wear at this early stage also looks pretty good.
