Tires OEM BMW or SUMITOMO

sieht eigentlich garnicht so wild aus, aber mit Seitenwand w\u00fcrde ich niemals spa\u00dfen. mach neu.

Only problem is the tires are transmitting way too much noise into cabin . But other than that it is an incredible ride.

Also ideally get low rolling resistance tires that can get you an extra 5% range next time you need new tires.

I have a ‘22, other than tires and brakes, I’ve only had regular maintenance service done. It’s a dream luxury liner to drive.

I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.

I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2

BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google.   I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023.  Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it.  The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.

I learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).
