Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport rated 100%
while driving a BMW 330d M Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
Excellent tyres.
Fronts 225/49/R19
Rears 255/35/R19.
Fitted to my 2028 BMW 330d xdrive msport shadow edition.
Fantastic tyre, swapped over from run flat Bridgestone Potenza.
I've driven on Goodyear-Pirelli-Bridgestone and these have been the best yet.
Would definitely recommend these Cross climate 3 sport for all year rubber.
Excellent tyre.

Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
I have driven about 1500 km on these zmax zealion tires I got for free from my dealership. They're ok tires, doesn't excel at anything but I wouldn't buy them if I had the choice. Will likely replace them in a few seasons.

while driving a Kia Motors Stinger 2.0 RWD
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
The main reason I bought it was because of the price and the wet braking performance on a couple of Tyre Reviews' tests. I have a staggered setup (225/40R19 in front and 255/35/R19 in the rear). I can definitely feel it more comfortable than the previous tyre that the car came with (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 in front and Asymmetric 5 in the rear). I haven't had the chance to test deep water, but on dry it has enough grip. It gives a little less feedback than the Goodyear but on highways is stable. can't say anything about the wear yet because I fitted it recently. So far I think I can strongly recommend this tyre.

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 rated 70%
while driving a Jaguar XE S (Supercharged V6)
Driving on mostly motorways for 13000 spirited miles
I've had these on my Jaguar XE S for about 20.000km (13.000 miles) and in winter the grip is great in both dry and wet. In higher temperatures (above 22 degrees C or so) they are definitely not that enjoyable: the tyre feels way too soft, lacking grip and steering feedback. The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 Evo I had on my previous car (Lexus IS 300h) seemed to do better in higher temperatures than these Pirelli's. I'll get another set of summer tyres for the summer and keep these just for the winter until Pirelli gives us a P Zero All Season tyre.
Size: 225/40 R19 on the front, 255/34 R19 on the rear.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 57%
while driving a BMW 420d
Driving on track for 15000 average miles
I have a set of four 19" tires for my BMW 4 Series. I have had these tires for 2 summer seasons and about 15,000km. At first these tires had very good grip on dry and wet roads. Now after two years, these tires are terrible. The car skids with every stronger acceleration and braking is very weak, and the rolling noise is loud. The tires look cracked all over, as if they are old, even though they are manufactured in 2022. I will never buy this brand again.

while driving a Mercedes Benz C350 RWD
Driving on mostly town for 0 easy going miles
These tyres came standard on my year 2017 Mercedes C350e when bought new. They were the front tyres. It’s March 2025 now and there only 27000km on the clock of my car, but they were replaced 3 years ago, in 2022! I’m a very soft driver. Terribly poor tyre wear! Shame on Continental.

while driving a Kia Motors Stinger 2.0 RWD
Driving on mostly motorways for 5000 spirited miles
Warning! Do not buy the standard tires if you have a staggered setup and RWD. Only OEM spec (star, MO, GO, etc).

I had a combination of 225/40R19 front with 255/35R19 on the rear. This is the standard for my car. And yet, on dry roads, in a straight line, the TC would cut power under acceleration.

After measuring the circumference of fronts and rears I found a difference of more than 2% in circumference between fronts and rears. This means a difference of 3km/h between front and rear wheels at highway speed. And under acceleration the rears would slip just enough to trigger TC.

Continental did not care about this. They said it’s normal to have a tolerance between -2% and +1% in circumference in the normal tires. They only limit these differences for OEM tires.

If you have a RWD and care about your life, don’t buy these.

On the road you can fill every crack, even smallest. On wet road you can't start moving quickly, it will slipper, sometimes even on dry roads.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 88%
while driving a BMW M340I X Drive
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 spirited miles
I replaced the Michelin PS4s on my M340i with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and find them much more comfortable for daily driving, with much less road noise. Grip and feedback is good, but the downside is that I get some understeer when pushing the front in roundabouts. In comparison, the PS4s are more like driving on rails, but those come with the downside of being a bit too twitchy and having more road noise.

I guess next time I might go back to the PS4s , or maybe Goodyear Supersports

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 rated 53%
while driving a BMW 335d
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 spirited miles
I came from a set of Michelin PS4S in a staggered 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 setup on a 2015 F31 335d which met their untimely demise on a pothole. I replaced the full set with these through BMW as it was convenient at the time (council was paying). I'm running a 300bhp diesel estate which got about 10k from the rear PS4S's (down to about 1mm) with the fronts still at 4.5mm, with 50/50 trunk and twisty country roads with a little weight in the back. Even with uprated pads in the 370mm brakes I still run out of brakes so I do drive hard, but while some complain that the X drive chassis understeers I never found it with the Michelins. However, with the Pirellis, like all other Pirelli's performance tyres I've used over the years across a number of cars, they don't turn in with any precision. On dry roads they do turn in but are woolly, and on wet roads they actually glide quite readily on turn in to the point where I'm a gear down on normal and turning in 2-3m earlier at 60mph just to get the front to bite where you want to - on Michelins this just isn't the case. And of course because you're having to be more aggressive at the front this then swings the back around more aggressively too. Understeer on corner entry leads to oversteer on exit if you're using the power to get the car turned through the corner effectively. The upshot of this is that in the wet the car feels unstable on these tyres, and braking performance is reduced too with very heavy braking triggering the ABS way more than I have been used to on this car in the last 60k miles. If all of this was only at 10/10ths driving then they could be forgiven but they're not. They're unimpressive, uninspiring and lacking in confidence across the breadth of metrics. They don't even wear well (unlike the also underwhelming OEM Bridgestone S001's which at least lasted to 30k miles on my car), as at 5k miles the rear tyres are down below 4mm. Very poor tyres and I suspect will be replaced after the winter (I use separate winters) rather than put back on until they're worn out. Another fail for damp and greasy British roads from Pirelli.

while driving a Ford Puma
Driving on mostly country roads for 25000 spirited miles
An excellent all round tyre. I have these on both my Ford Puma ST and my Toyota GR Yaris.
I'm surprised by the longevity of the PS4S tyre. I've done 25,000 miles in the Puma and the treads are down to 3.8mm (F) and 4.8mm (R), so still plenty of life left.
