BMW M135i Tyre Review Highlights

Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
These replaced some Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on the rear of my car and these have been a revelation. Lots of grip in both wet and drive, comfortable and more progressive when putting the power down. I'm very impressed.

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I've run these on the front of my car for some time now and they've finally worn out. Although I didn't rate the tyre that much on the back of my car, it seemed much more suited to the front of a rear wheel drive car where it wasn't having to put the power down. Safe comfortable front end and lasted for a decent number of miles too.

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Another winter season over on these tyres and I am again very impressed. Although we did not get snow this winter, we did get plenty of weather below 7C including ice and a lot of cold wet weather and I found these tyres both grippy and extremely progressive. Wear has once again been good. The tyres are noisier and grumblier than my summer tyres, and the steering is lighter so feedback is not as good as in summer. On days where temperatures were over 7C the tyre was still good, but you could feel on corning that it was not as firm as usual.

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
I've been running these for some time now and the rear tyres have finally worn out. For a performance car tyre on a rear wheel drive car, I've been really impressed with the wear rate of these tyres.

Grip in the summer was overall pretty good, my only complaint is that I haven't found them particularly progressive, the transition from grip to slide really quite quickly.

Compared to other tyres I've used, I found these to be quite disappointing in the wet in certain situations. Wet braking and resisting aquaplaning was good, but cornering grip in wet weather was extremely snappy, even at low speed and low revs, just pulling out of a greasy junction.

If you mainly drive in the the summer this is a good tyre but I wouldn't recommend for all weather use.

Writing about the Giti GitiSport S1 given 100% (235-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Tyre is smooth operator! Been using PSS4 for all my years but after changing to GITI S1 it is different. Much quieter when driving, performance wise is amazing. Bring it on a track and the tyre makes me feel safe that is the most important. After the track i use for normal road and surprisingly it performs the same.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 90% (245-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
Excellent tyres, best I've had on a car so far. My M135i had Michelin Pilot Super Sports (MPSS) when I bought it and these were grippier in the dry, however in the wet they were bordering on dangerous. The MPSS gave very little feedback in the wet and you could easily find yourself sideways putting the power down in 3rd going around a gentle bend on a dual carriageway! Changing to Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric completely changed the behaviour of the car in the wet. Predictable, easy to control on the limit (or slightly beyond), lovely tyres. They wear well too, I've just had 15000 miles out of a rear set and I drive around with the traction control fully off all the time (LSD on the back). Still good grip in the dry, but I do admit less grippy in the dry than the MPSS were. All round the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric can't be beaten in my view. I'd love to try another brand but I tried that before and they were much worse, so I'm not going to risk it!

Generally a well balanced tyres which is very progressive in dry warm weather, but is less so when wet with rear wheel drive. At low temperatures can be quite unpredictable even at lower speeds. They are wearing extremely well and still don't need changing so well worth the cost overall

Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
I was really impressed with these tyres, surpringly good even on warmer days in the dry, very secure in the wet and seemed very reliable on the few days of snow we had. If anything the car was less tail happy on these than on normal summer tyres in the summer

Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
These came on the M135i I bought instead of the original Pilot Super Sports. I've found them generally very good. In the summer they just about handle the power of the car. Any slides are predictable with good communication and progression. In the wet I found them a little bit less secure, and a bit more spikey than I had expected. In light snow they also coped surprisingly well considering the car. Wear has been good and comfort much better than I expected.

Driving on mostly town for 1000 average miles
I purchased these tyres on reviews & good price. What a big mistake. The tyres are very comfortable but that is where the praise ends. These tyres are shocking when i comes to feedback, they wobble when changing direction at any speed above 40 mph. It feels as though they are under inflated or almost flat & actually quite dangerous when changing direction. I think they are either faulty of have very soft side walls & that is with the extra load spec. I have run them over inflated to over 40 psi with no difference in handling just a more choppy ride.I have contacted Goodyear with my concerns & their response is that the tyres are not star marked for bmw cars, which basically means i should not have them on my car as bmw don't recommend them. I was told to take the tyres off and send them in to be checked, sure no car for weeks as they take a look at them and send them back with saying nothing wrong with them, don't think so. No way would i by Goodyear tyres again i'll stick to Michelin thanks. Tyres are now off the car as can't go the understeer / oversteer feeling every time i turn into a corner.

Writing about the Ovation W 582 given 30% (225-40-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
I ran these tyres for one winter on a RWD 320bhp car.
They were a very bad choice for the car. Traction in both wet and dry needed feather light throttle inputs and I found the car unstable through corners.
I wouldn't recommend these tyres.
That said, I previously used Ovation winter tyres on a small van (with >90bhp) and they worked well in snowy conditions.
