Best tires for 328i based on your personal expirience

90rr · 08-19-2013, 04:53 PM

Hi everyone

Tittle pretty much says everything. I am looking to get new tires on my 07 328. I got kumho ecsta 4x and less than a year ago and I already need new one (i'm driving 10-20 miles a day and don't abuse car at all). Coming from RTF's I noticed that ride was much softer and cornering is mushier. I guess this is due to soft tire walls. Generally I am looking to get relatively durable and not to expensive tires with that sporty feel that RTF's had. Btw. I live in FL so no winter tires are necessary.

Thank you in advance

for all around performance/budget/mileage/ride/sound, on a 328 i vote for the hankook ventus v12 summer tire.

i had the ecsta 4x and it was ok but too mushy... took away confidence when taking a turn hard. (mine didnt wear out as quickly as yours either. my daily commute is 30 miles/day) if you want to stick with all-season, the toyo proxes4plus is better than the ecsta 4x in my opinion.

otherwise, the V12. for a lil more, then the continental DW. (or DWS).

and if price isnt a concern, the michelin PSS is hands down the best street tire. worth the hype and beyond... especially on a 328.
