BMW E46 3 Series Tyre Review Highlights
I've bought brand new tyres about 10 000 km (~ 6250 miles)ago. These tyres are very good for my crazy driving style (grip on the dry or wet road)and they do fit to my car (BMW 330xd - 4 wheel drive). It's already 10 000 km, but they do look like the brand new. Very good tyres for the very reasonable price (price and quality). I've used Pirelli PZero before, but i did not get such good results (compare price and quality).

This tyre was came top in straight line aquaplaining in the Evo tyre test and it's the single reason I bought this tyre. Aquaplaning is one of the single biggest reasons for accidents on the motorway and it's not a nice situaion to be in. Dunlop overall didn't do too well but let's face it, all premium brand high performance tyres perform well enough and much of the scoring is subjective. Aquaplaning for me is most important in a tyre test. Apart from Goodyear F1 Asymmetric, there is no better tyres. Maxx has the best rim protection too.

i put these tyres on the rear of my car to replace a goodyear excellance and a ventus sport, what a difference. the rear used to come out even with the traction control on but with these new tyres it makes it dificult to get it sideways when your trying to with both bits of the traction control off.

I'd never heard of these, but my mechanic rated them and told me they were part on continental. I put a pair on the rear of a bmw 3 series touring that i used for genarally everything a bit grubby from fishing, dogs, tip runs and work as i'm a carpenter. I gave £120 for the pair fitted/balanced and Vat. I have just had the front pair replaced with exactly the same tyres and when my missus is up for new tyres these are whats going on, there just value for money, excellent grip and wear, so very safe a sturdy. Nice thread pattern for wet weather, only done about 2000 miles on the rear set but they look untouched and bear in mind these are on a rear wheel drive bmw carrying a bit of weight most days.

These replaced the famed Michelin Primacy from which I managed to get 25K miles and thought they were a fantastic tyre. After reading reviews here I changed to Uniroyals because I wanted more ride comfort. These tyres are a revelation. Better all round and amazing comfort over potholed roads, compared to the Michelins. The car feels more solid and controlled, does not drift on fast sweeping bends and has a much more responsive turn-in; in addition to a more comfortable ride. Would highly recommend.

I started off with MICHELIN PILOT PRIMACY which I found very good. Excellent infact. However the cost of news one put me off, so I was advised on DUNLOP SPORT MAXX...Worst tyres ever. I would not reccomended these at all for a BMW 320 tourer. These are hard walled tyres, the ride, the handling, the noise were really bad. You could feel avery bump in the road. I couldn't take it for long so I'm on PERELLI P6000. The difference is amazing. It's like driving a different car. I would recommend these tyres.

Changed the front pair from worn nexen to these Sunew and am happy so far, bit noisier but I suppose thats what you have with new tread.
I'd say my driving is average, not boy-racer and not driving Miss Daisy either, its rained for the past couple of days and I've not lost grip yet, pushed them abit around corners and considering they are new they feel pretty good, so far. Paid just shy of ?100 fitted for the pair.
