Tires OEM BMW or BRIDGESTONE
I trusted my Blizzack tires in Alaska way more then I trusted studded tires. Very often studs are thrown into tires that are sub standard tires on snow and ice.
245 35 20, Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Not the best wet tyre, but great for street driving and will last..220 Treadwear you should get around 30-40,000km our of a set.
My 2016 came with OEM Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 tires, and when I replaced them I went with the "Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422 PLUS" versions (only difference is that they are supposed to have slightly longer tread wear longevity.....) and I've been happy enough with them. No statistical efficiency tests, but they appear to be working about the same as the OEM non-plus models.
I have Bridgestone tires on my bike(Harley Fat Boy 114).
Very grippy in the corners, rear tire hooks up to the pavement for launches increadibly well.
7000miles on the tires and the middle still has a ton of tread life left.
I bought the same Bridgestone model after the OEMs on my wore down. Made sure to get a proper weight rating and it was way better than the OEMs.
I can only comment for the T005 which I had on an opel insignia. Size 245/45r18. Greece so I guess similar conditions.
Good all arounder with excellent levels of grip both in dry and wet and superb fuel economy.
For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
My favorite all-season is the Bridgestone re980as. Great traction, but a little noisy.
While I do notice the comfort and quietness of the Turanza Quiettrack in the week I've had them, so far, sometimes, it feels like I'm driving in mud, ie the car feels sluggish. The fuel efficiency has also decreased noticeably.
Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
