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.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2 225-45-18 BMW M240i 12,427 miles September 30, 2026

I drive the tire on 2 vehicles, on a Honda e as the only all-season tire and on a BMW M240i G42 xDrive as a winter and touring tire. On the Honda, the tire understeers a bit, while on the BMW, the tire behaves normally (Square Four setup), but during high power use at the corner exit, it then 'folds' at the back, or power is regulated down. The outstanding feature of the tire is its comfort, without feeling mushy. Yesterday, I switched from Conti SC7 to AllSeasonContact 2 on the BMW because I want to embark on a Northern Italy tour with several passes over 2000 meters. Honestly, I like the ASC2 almost better than the SC7. It drives smoother/harmoniously, but doesn't provide the same high-speed stability at the rear as the SC7. I really like the ASC2.

Falken Azenis RS820 255-30-19 BMW M240i 3,107 miles September 1, 2026
I previously drove on the Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5.
The tires are equally good.
The Falken is new now, so it might have more grip than the GY, but its handling is just as good, if not better than the GY.
Plus, the Falken is cheaper.
I'll continue to use this tire in the future.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ 245-35-18- BMW M240i 3,000 miles March 9, 2025
I bought these based on the review from tirereviews.com on youtube where they did a comparison with about 8 different all season options and a summer and winter dedicated tire thrown in to show the difference in performance. Have had dedicated winter tires before, Yokohamas, Conti Winter Contact, and Vredestein all of which are really solid on snowy roads. I am very happy with the all round performance of the Quatrac Pro Plus All Seasons. They have been great in normal UK driving conditions during winter and now some warmer days. When using the dedicated winter tires you can feel them sliding a little on warm dry days at the limit as the compound is softer and less suited to those conditions. However i have to say i've not felt that with the Quatracs, they remain grippy for as far as i've wanted to push them on warm dry, cold wet etc conditions in the UK. I have also had them out in the Alps for several weeks over winter, and they didn't let me down there either, some snowy roads and with appropriate driving they are solid in that environment as well. The tire i had before on this car when i bought it last year did offer more assured dry grip was summer Pirelli Powergy, but i will keep with the Quatracs now, they are a really excellent tire and when i'm out in the Alps i know they'll keep me right.

Pirelli Powergy 225-40-18- BMW M240i 4,000 miles September 24, 2024
A really good performance dry tire, not so sure in the wet as it let go at the rear end on a round about in wet conditions one time. But i'm still getting used to my car which is a M240i so quite powerful and a little tail happy anyway with all that power and torque. Tire widths are the fronts, rears are 245.35.r18. Much more confortable ride than a runflat tire, so no doubt better for the life of suspension parts as well.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4 255-35-19- BMW M240i 6,500 miles September 23, 2024
These were the tires that came on my 2024 BMW M240i xDrive. While they do alright they leave a lot to be desired. I just cant seem to trust them. They always handle the job with no drama when loaded up, but it takes a big of G to really get there. They just feel like they’re asleep until a threshold of high grip. On hard launch they dont chirp or bother they just go, hard stops the same. They are serious under pressure but almost always napping off the line. They are eh okay.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport 245-35-18- BMW M240i September 18, 2024
Well, only 60km on these tires but I know my tires and drive (test drive) about 100 cars per year so I know what to look for. Every thing Jonathan said about them (for road use) is true. Direct steering, great braking performance and probably the less comfortable option between PS4S, GY SS.... I still need to test it more but from the little I did, it's a great tire (replaced GoodYear SS)

Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 255-35-19- BMW M240i 5,000 miles March 13, 2024
Great overall UHP winter tire. They go on my 2022 BMW M240i xDrive in the fall and come off in the spring using 2 sets of identical wheels year-round. During the summer I run on Michelin PS4S so for several days each year I get to A/B compare this tire against one of the best tires ever made. The only difference in the tires being the front winters are 225/40/19's and the front summers are 245/35/19's. Rears are all 255/35/19's as I run a staggered setup. The major differences between the two tires are the road noise (higher on the Pirelli's) and a little more "sway" in the Pirelli's when pushing the car around bends. What I find impressive though is how well the Pirelli's communicate what they are doing. They have a very linear and predictable feel like the PS4S so I always know how much grip I have left which makes using them in winter more enjoyable as you can really drive the car as intended in the dry. The tires also don't need to be warmed up and feel compliant right out of the gate on a cold start and go. In the rain they behave as expected and hydroplane less than the PS4S do when driving in heavy rain with water accumulation on the road. I also had the chance to drive over a challenging mountain pass road during a snow storm in my first winter on them and really got to experience the difference. The tire was very predictable and kept me out of trouble. Combined with AWD, I felt completely safe and confident and drove right through the storm without any issues.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 245-35-18- BMW M240i 18,000 miles October 28, 2023
Bought the Pilot Sport 5 to replace half-worn Pilot Super Sports which, despite being awesome in the dry, were downright lethal in the cold and damp! These came off after about 25000 miles and still had around 5mm tread left!
PS5 First impressions were positive but I came to quickly realise that was down to the old-for-new tire swap! While I've found the PS5 to be good in the cold and wet, it understeers way too much for my liking. The rears in 245/35/18 are now approaching 2mm (after 14 months/less than 20000miles) so any day now I'll be replacing them.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport 245-35-18- BMW M240i 500 miles April 12, 2023
This tire is amazing on the front axle. Grip for days, feedback is great. Fast warmup and doesn't overheat fast on a long track. Went to the Nürburgring and i'm amazed. After seeing the test, everyone concluded that this tire isn't suitable for hard abuse. Let me tell you if your car is setup right. After doing many laps on the ring, tire wear is normal. 245/35/18 is a difficult size. 100% buy again. For daily driving it's excellent. Wet grip is excellent. Couldn't wish any better. Wish they brought out the Potenza Race in this size

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 255-35-18- BMW M240i 1,000 miles October 27, 2022
Fantastic dry and wet grip! Having 600+hp on the rear wheels they suit perfectly. Sidewall/responsive identical like a premium semi-slick. They snap your neck when on temperature. Putting al the power down in second gear. Only little complain is that they are noisier than most of the tires i've tested. But that just shows how sporty these tires are. Ideal for sporty/track driving
