Bmw I4 Tires

Here at SimpleTire, our team has combed through the catalog and developed some of the best tire choices for your BMW i4, including all-season, UHP all-season, and winter tires, ranked in Best/Great/Good order. We then used our SimpleScore system to assign a numerical score to each tire's longevity, traction, and handling categories. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

1. Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack - Best All-Season Tire

First up on our list is the Turanza QuietTrack from Bridgestone. The Turanza QuietTrack is the preferred OEM tire for luxury cars and crossovers. If you’re a driver who prioritizes a refined ride, low noise, long tread life, and year-round performance, this tire could deliver on all those expectations for you. Bridgestone designed the Turanza QuietTrack for stability and excellent wear properties, with durable internal construction and a long-lasting tread compound. Internal details of the Turanza QuietTrack include a polyester casing with a steel belt layer and a nylon cap overlay. Bridgestone backs the Turanza QuietTrack with a best-in-class 80,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, which is enough for us to grant a superb SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. The tread pattern has open shoulder slots, 3D sipes, and a network of circumferential and lateral grooves for dependable resistance to hydroplaning and all-season traction. With that taken into account, we give the Turanza QuietTrack SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. Thanks to its reinforced shoulder, sidewall, and tread design, we’ve also been impressed with the excellent road manners, steering response, and precise cornering of the Turanza QuietTrack. Running that through the SimpleScore calculations, we decided on a 9.9 for handling. Maybe one of our favorite features of the Turanza QuietTrack, though, is its excellent noise cancellation. It keeps noise low with non-chamfered grooves, an optimized tread pitch, and in-groove ridges that all break up and eliminate resonance and road noise for a driving experience that’s surprisingly serene and peaceful.

2. Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus 3 - Best All-Season UHP Tire

Next on this list is Pirelli Zero AS Plus 3 from Pirelli, an all-season tire that’s designed for drivers who like to push the envelope – along with reliable year-round all-season traction. The P Zero All Season Plus 3 incorporates an updated polymer-enhanced tread formulation for durability and excellent wear properties. Stability and long wear are given, with a twin steel belt package, a polyester casing, and polyamide reinforcement plies. Pirelli backs the P Zero All Season Plus 3 with a 50,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty. With that in mind, we give the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus 3 a solid SimpleScore of 8.9 for longevity. The year-round grip is one of the strong suits of this tire, with an asymmetric tread pattern designed with a minimal void area and optimized to put the most rubber in contact with the road. Superb performance and grip in wet or wintry conditions aren’t a problem, thanks to various sipes, including full-depth 3D sipes in select tread blocks. That’s enough for our team to give this tire a strong SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. Handling gets a SimpleScore of 9.9 with enhanced steering response, braking, and cornering thanks to larger pitch-sequenced tread blocks and reinforced shoulders.

3. Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus - Best Winter tire

Now we pick a dedicated winter tire for the BMW i4, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus. This tire gives you the peace of mind and confidence to get through the nastiest winter conditions. It is a European winter tire designed for high-performance cars that complements your vehicle’s sporty demeanor and performance potential. Goodyear designed the UltraGrip Performance Plus with a flexible, supple, silica-enhanced rubber formulation that’s durable but flexible for traction when temperatures are below freezing. This rubber formulation is molded into a directional tread pattern that’s proven to deliver traction in snow, slush, and ice, with Goodyear’s TredLock 3D sipes joining forces to chew through snow. Our determination for SimpleScore for traction with this tire is 9.9 (this tire is also Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service). Strong shoulder blocks and sidewalls help with cornering and steering response that are more what you’d expect from a performance tire, for a solid SimpleScore of 9.9 in the handling department. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance Plus lives up to Goodyear’s reputation for durability, too, for a SimpleScore of 9.8 for longevity.

These are our picks for the best premium tires for a BMW i4, but we’re not done yet. Here are a couple more to think about:

4. Toyo Extensa A/S II - Great All-Season Tire

Next up is the Toyo Extensa A/S II, an all-season tire for sedans, coupes, minivans, and SUVs that’s been making a good impression on us for some time now. The Extensa A/S II is designed for low rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency, extended wear, and grip in wet conditions, thanks to an advanced silica-rich tread compound. Toyo designed the Extensa A/S II for an optimized footprint, with tread ribs that distribute lateral forces and pressure across the tire’s tread face for more even wear and confident cornering and braking performance. Four wide circumferential grooves move standing water through and behind the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning on wet roads, and a dense network of sipes multiplies traction in wet or wintry conditions by adding hundreds of extra biting edges. Cross-rotation of tires with the Extensa A/S II is a little easier with a nondirectional symmetric tread design, helping to ensure more even wear. Toyo backs the Extensa A/S II with a 75,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty.

With an average SimpleScore of 8.5, the Extensa A/S II offers great handling and traction (8.7 in both categories) and good longevity (7.8).

5. Kumho Ecsta PA51 - Good All-Season Tire

Let’s close this list with the Ecsta PA51 from Kumho, another all-season tire designed for crisp, responsive braking and handling. The Ecsta PA51 delivers year-round grip, UHP braking, cornering, and overall handling levels, mitigating hydroplaning on wet roads with wide circumferential grooves that divert water behind the tire’s contact patch. Wide shoulder blocks help give this tire excellent cornering ability (for a SimpleScore of 9.4 in handling), and a semi-solid center rib helps with road manners, steering response, and straight-line stability. Kumho backs the Ecsta PA51 with a 45,000 mile manufacturer’s tread life warranty, an advanced, custom blended tread compound designed for long, even wear, and superb traction and stiffness for cornering ability. For snowy roads, a combination of sipes and specially designed tread blocks delivers the grip you need. SimpleScore for traction is 8.9, and the SimpleScore for longevity is 8.6, with an overall SimpleScore average of 8.8. The Kumho Ecsta PA51 might be a somewhat more affordable tire, but that doesn’t mean you have to give away any serious tradeoffs in performance or quality.
