The BMW 3-series of compact sedans has been around since the mid 70s; by model year 2015, the 3-series was in its sixth generation and according to the BMW naming system, the 320i was powered by a 1.6L or 2.0L 4-cyl engine. BMW’s xDrive AWD system is offered as an option on 320i models; even with a potent 4-cyl engine, the 320i is rated at 24 mpg city/35 mpg highway. Your 320i would have left the factory with Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Continental ContiProContact - SSR, Bridgestone Potenza S001 or Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 tires as OEM.
For most people who shop 2015 BMW 320i tires, premium all season tires are the way to go, thanks to their long wear, year-round traction, quiet, comfortable ride and great handling. Check out tires like the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus (with 50k mile treadwear warranty), Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus (50k mile warranty) and Yokohama Advan Sport A/S Plus (55k mile warranty). To really get the most out of the handling potential of your 2014 BMW 320i, check out summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Pirelli PZero (PZ4 Sport), Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT. Just remember that summer and UHP tires use a softer, stickier rubber formulation that enhances cornering and braking traction, but will stiffen and lose grip in colder weather. Summer and UHP tires shouldn’t be used when it’s colder than about 45 degrees F.
Loving it so far. Feel pretty confident on thick snow, cold and icy conditions despite driving in a RWD vehicle with low ground clearance (BMW). They look great too (if you care) and the ride is very comfortable. Price point was perfect when compared to other retailers, especially with the installation fee reduction.
