BMW X1 2.0 Xdrive Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 given 67% (225-45-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 average miles
These 225/45/19 Continental tires are not suitable for an X1. The comfort is basic and they are too stiff. The driving becomes too nervous. Very poor directional stability. The trajectory must be corrected regularly, even after having revised the alignment of the car. After 33,000 km, I have to replace them...
The original tires were Pirelli Cinturato P7. These tires are even worse. I had to replace them after only 21,000 km of discomfort.

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6 given 42% (245-40-20-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
This review is for the EcoContact 6Q BMW / Merc marked variant on a new U11 X1 150kW petrol with xDrive. These are frankly the worst new OEM fit tyres I have encountered in numerous cars in well over a decade (I work in the industry). Dry grip was surprisingly poor with squeal setting in very early on mini roundabouts where no other vehicle has previously done so. A low speed (from 50km/h) emergency stop to avoid a car pulling out from a junction resulted in obvious sliding (in the dry!). Wet grip is slightly terrifying with unpredictable loss of the front end, once it goes it goes..! I have no idea how these were approved by BMW although I am sure they are have low rolling resistance.

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero given 57% (225-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 17000 average miles
On my BMW X1 the front set lasted 17,000 miles compared with 24,000 miles for previous Michelins and 25,000 on original Bridgestones. Not impressive. Good grip and fairly quiet but not worth the money. Now trying Goodyear Efficient Grip

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 67% (225-45-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 100 easy going miles
Just had my 2nd set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 fitted To my BMW X1 as i was very impressed with outstanding rim protection.
However my new set has 3mm ( 1/4" ) less
rim protection which is very visible, I've emailed Michelin and sent photos of both sets of tyres and requested an explanation
however they have replied to say that they won't reply to my email, i shall choose another brand in future.

Writing about the Nokian WeatherProof given 88% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 average miles
I was in a situation where I needed to replace both my winter tyre set and my summer tyre set. I came across these Nokian Weatherproofs and realised I would only have to buy one set, a considerable saving. I am really pleased with the tyres, not much difference from the previous Pirelli runflats in the dry, but better grip in the wet but more comfortable. The beast from the East gave me a chance to evaluate their performance in snowy conditions and I was again pleased with the grip and braking properties, as good as the dedicated winter tyres that I had previously. When in for servicing, the mechanic at the local garage said 'Those are good tyres, all vehicles like yours should have them as standard'. With the weather that we have in the UK, it seems like a no-brainer for everyone to use decent all weather tyres like these Nokians. If they continue to impress, I will fit them again in the future.

Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip given 54% (225-45-18-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
These tyres came fitted new to my BMW X 1 4x4 and seem to have wasted the extra cost of the 4x4 system. In the recent snow these tyres have resulted in having less grip than many 2 wheel drive cars. I would say that they verge on dangerous and have seen the car sledge at speed on snow downhill completely out of control. Dry weather grip is good and they are quiet, but really if the are poor in slippery conditions it negates all safety benefits. I cannot wait to get them off the car.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 2 given 69% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
These tyres should carrry a health warning THEY ARE ONLY SUMMER tyres, they are lethal in the snow and ice, no grip whatsoever. Lucky not to have had an accident.
As Summer tyres, fine no problem, wear rate good, noise level low, as winter tyres leave the car in the Garage.
