BMW E39 5 series Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 given 97% (235-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Simply the best tyres I have ever bought. Nothing quiet compares to them. I have been driving professionally for 45 years and find these tyres amazing.
My reason for changing to them was at the time the roads were very icy and back roads ungritted and dangerous. The percieved difference was like chalk and cheeze. The tyres I took off were Dunlop SP Sports with lots of tread left. I first bought the Michelin Pilot 3's during the British winter of 2010. No other tyre I have bought comes near to the performance of these tyres.

Writing about the Nankang NS2 given 95% (265-35-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
I'm running 265/35/18 on the rear and 245/40/18 on the front. Mainly wet driving so far and despite the fact that my 540 has a supercharger fitted and puts out over 400bhp these tryes have performed unbelievably well. They very nearly caught me out on entry to the first spirited bend as they turned in on a wet road like they were on rails. Full throttle exits from wet bends have yet to unstick them.

If you have any doubts about buying these tyres then no need to worry, a superb tyre at a stupid price.

Excellent tyres for this car. Well damped, very quiet, directional tracking, wet grip, wear. Very pleased and will buy again. Previously had Pilot.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric given 91% (265-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 average miles
Did run them in 235/40-18 front and 265/35-18 rear on my 528ia touring. The dry and wet grip is just fantastic and the wear is unbelieveable. Had them on for about 45´km rear and still run the front ones (now about 55´km). The only bad thing is they are a bit noisy. The best tire I did drive so far. Would buy them again 100%.

Writing about the Nokian Z G2 given 91% (255-40-17-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 600 spirited miles
Good quality tyre. I changed my Pilot Sport 2 with this Nokian in my rear tyres and I'm not missing the Michelin's tyres. Anyway, I expect that once I will have been driving more than 1.000 kms with the nokian, the dry grip will be higher, but right now it is quite high dry grip.

Regards.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU31 given 91% (255-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 spirited miles
I was extremely impressed with these tyres.. Hardwearing, responsive, good wet/dry grip. I wasn't expecting them to be much cop, but was pleasantly surprised. Dry grip is better than the conti's I had on before and the wet grip is improved too. And in the current hazardous driving conditions the grip I'm getting in the ice and snow is surprising too!! For the price these tyres are outstanding and I will be buying them again. Please be aware, tyre performance does depend on the road surface, and for UK roads, these tyres are fantastic.
