BMW M240i Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 given 81% (255-35-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
Great overall UHP winter tire. They go on my 2022 BMW M240i xDrive in the fall and come off in the spring using 2 sets of identical wheels year-round. During the summer I run on Michelin PS4S so for several days each year I get to A/B compare this tire against one of the best tires ever made. The only difference in the tires being the front winters are 225/40/19's and the front summers are 245/35/19's. Rears are all 255/35/19's as I run a staggered setup. The major differences between the two tires are the road noise (higher on the Pirelli's) and a little more "sway" in the Pirelli's when pushing the car around bends. What I find impressive though is how well the Pirelli's communicate what they are doing. They have a very linear and predictable feel like the PS4S so I always know how much grip I have left which makes using them in winter more enjoyable as you can really drive the car as intended in the dry. The tires also don't need to be warmed up and feel compliant right out of the gate on a cold start and go. In the rain they behave as expected and hydroplane less than the PS4S do when driving in heavy rain with water accumulation on the road. I also had the chance to drive over a challenging mountain pass road during a snow storm in my first winter on them and really got to experience the difference. The tire was very predictable and kept me out of trouble. Combined with AWD, I felt completely safe and confident and drove right through the storm without any issues.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 given 65% (245-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 spirited miles
Bought the Pilot Sport 5 to replace half-worn Pilot Super Sports which, despite being awesome in the dry, were downright lethal in the cold and damp! These came off after about 25000 miles and still had around 5mm tread left!
PS5 First impressions were positive but I came to quickly realise that was down to the old-for-new tyre swap! While I've found the PS5 to be good in the cold and wet, it understeers way too much for my liking. The rears in 245/35/18 are now approaching 2mm (after 14 months/less than 20000miles) so any day now I'll be replacing them.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport given 91% (245-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
This tyre is amazing on the front axle. Grip for days, feedback is great. Fast warmup and doesn't overheat fast on a long track. Went to the Nürburgring and i'm amazed. After seeing the test, everyone concluded that this tyre isn't suitable for hard abuse. Let me tell you if your car is setup right. After doing many laps on the ring, tyre wear is normal. 245/35/18 is a difficult size. 100% buy again. For daily driving it's excellent. Wet grip is excellent. Couldn't wish any better. Wish they brought out the Potenza Race in this size

Writing about the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 given 87% (255-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Fantastic dry and wet grip! Having 600+hp on the rear wheels they suit perfectly. Sidewall/responsive identical like a premium semi-slick. They snap your neck when on temperature. Putting al the power down in second gear. Only little complain is that they are noisier than most of the tyres i've tested. But that just shows how sporty these tyres are. Ideal for sporty/track driving

Writing about the Davanti Protoura Sport given 90% (245-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
After reading these excellent reviews, i've bought a set of Davanti's for the rear of my M240i. First 100km's were a bit vague but that's what i've experienced with all new tyres. After that they perform outstanding. Never thought that I could manage to put all power down with these.. i've tried PS4's / Assy 5's / supersport etc.. but they don't hook like these Davanti's. They do squeel loud when finding traction but that's just the first meters of accelerating. 100% buy again. In the wet, like all other brands you need to be carefull if you put 800nm down..

Writing about the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus given 82% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
The first winter tyre I had that actually is sporty. Before I really didn’t like driving spirited with winter tyres. UHP summer tyres are still better in that aspect, but this is actually quite good. Even though I have runflat versions of this tyre, they are surprisingly comfortable. Very good in every condition. Can take some abuse as well and not shred to pieces.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 87% (245-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
This is the second time I bought this tyre. But not for this car. Big fan of this tyre. The tyres replaced my factory fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sport. I needed a tyre for better wet grip, because I daily my car. Huge improvement in wet grip and aquaplaining without really sacrificing dry grip capability. Comfort level is higher. Very good wear considering I often drive sporty. The only downside is the lack of feel what the tyres are doing. They also don’t feel sporty, although very capable in every condition. Still don’t regret buying them one bit.

Writing about the Vredestein Wintrac Pro given 93% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
Winter time. Came from Michelin PS4 summer tyres. When changing to Vredestein Wintrac Pro straight away i've noticed it handles like the Michelin. Very stable, tight handling. Grip is amazing. Having a Stage2 M240i with 480bhp. Accelerating from 0 is spot on. Almost no wheelspin! And that for RWD!! In wet it feels very confident. No issues at all. First day of big snow, I went for a big trip with my buddy. Leaving the parking uphill, it went like on dry surface. My buddy took 30min to finally get free. Just proves how amazing the Vredestein is. And really shows a wintertyre is the best choice in these winter condition. Trust level 100. Wouldn't choose any other tyre than this. You wont regret it

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport given 66% (245-35-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 18000 spirited miles
The tires came factory fitted to my M240i, which I use as a daily driver. The dry grip and dry handling was the best part of the tires, but they needed some temperature to grip properly. Wear wasn't bad considering I often drove spirited on twisty roads. Once you experienced the Michelin PS4 you soon realize the Michelin Pilot Super Sport has very weak wet grip. Aquaplaning was very bad. Comfort wise the tires were quite hard, but not runflat hard. Overall an excellent tire for dry conditions, but weak in dry conditions.
