BMW 118d Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Winrun R330 given 53% (205-50-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 7000 easy going miles
I have never felt more unsafe - bought two run flats for rear to match final cycle for front. I have had four sets on back for one set on front. Back end of car feels loose like on ice or mud, roundabouts in wet are frightening. Car is well maintained, runs and steers in a straight line, though I will get alignment checked in a day or two. The old worn out Potenzas fell far more tight and safe than these cheap, rubbish tyres from PRC. You get what you pay for and back to Potenza for me. My Wincrap tyres are about three months old, have done about 10k, and I’ll happily see them gone.

Driving on a combination of roads for 22000 spirited miles
Now on my third set of these tyres. The car came with these and they have been brilliant so I have decided to stay with them. I don't run the car in winter and I have only once driven the car on these tyres in the snow, I wouldn't recommend it. But a great tyre for the rest of the year. Reading other reviews these tyres appear to be too harsh on low profile tyres and can crack rims, however on 50's they seem fine and I have never experienced this problem.

Writing about the Firestone Winterhawk 4 given 92% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1800 average miles
I bought 4 brand new tyres in November 2020 and this review is after 3000km. I'm pretty happy with them. The price was pretty good in comparison with Bridgestone and Michelin. Although I try to skip as much icy roads as possible, in rain or snow they perform well. I tried them even in a snowy mountain and everything was alright. Braking path is fairly short no matter the weather. No road noises, good responsiveness and they feel pretty reliable. For a budget tyre, this is a really good value for money.

Writing about the Petlas Snow Master W651 given 96% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 14000 average miles
Bought these because i was very happy with summer tires from the same manufacturer, and again was happily suprised by the quality of them. Before them i had continental wintercontact ts 860 and comparing them i can see no difference except the petlas tires wear far less and drive better in the snow and cold dry wether. However in the rain the continentals were a little better but not by so much to urge me to spend more money on them ever again. Great tire cant recommend them enough.

Writing about the Westlake Sport SA37 given 46% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 900 average miles
Very budget tyre and the price suits its quality, ideal for a family runabout that does not stretch its performance levels as frankly its dire and will find yourself in a ditch with any reaql load of power

Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
Great tyre, was skeptical before because of how cheap they. But after 12.000 km I can say without a doubt these are excellent, they don’t wear at all and the grip is excellent both in the dry and in the wet.

Writing about the Maxxis M36 Plus given 100% (205-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12500 easy going miles
swapped out 4x continental 2 after less than 40k.
had to maxxis on for 20000 clicks thus far and BMW inspection showed minimal wear on all 4.
should get another 40000 clicks according to the technician.
(click = kilometre)

probably the best snow tires I had. They replaced a Michelin Alpin5. This tires are better than Michelin on snow and ice. Very comfy and low noise on road, even on motorway.
I recommend them.
