Using SimpleScore, here are the best BMW 440i tires on the market today.
1. Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season - Best All-Season tire
We’re going to kick off our roundup with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season. The Cinturato P7 All Season does very well in our SimpleScore numbers for handling (SimpleScore of 9.6), thanks to robust construction and compact central blocks, minimizing tread squirm and tire distortion during hard cornering. Wet and dry grip benefit from a next-generation tread compound and a combination of sipes, lateral grooves, and circumferential grooves that all work together as a system to expel water from the tire’s contact patch, resist hydroplaning and boost winter grip for a traction score of 9.8. The Cinturato P7 All Season does lose a few points when it comes to longevity, with no mileage warranty and a SimpleScore of 8.5. That’s offset somewhat, though, by the fact that this tire is available with run-flat technology, a reinforced sidewall design that allows a driver to go as far as another 50 miles at 50 mph even after a complete loss of inflation pressure. With composed road manners, low rolling resistance, low noise, a forgiving ride, and great handling, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season is a great pick.
2. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - Best UHP All-Season tire
Next up is a tire that offers UHP levels of cornering, braking, and steering response along with the versatility of year-round traction – the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS. The ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS gives you the confidence of all-season performance with dependable traction in wet, dry, or light wintry weather, but with the kind of road manners and overall handling that you might expect with a UHP tire. That’s even more of a plus when you remember that UHP and summer tires have a softer tread compound that hardens in the cold and have to be dismounted and exchanged for all-season tires in colder weather. The ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS expands on the successful track record of the popular, proven ExtremeContact DWS06 in just about every aspect, with cornering ability, braking, and steering response that all get a boost from the tire’s reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread. We looked at all the reviews and data points, and the ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS gets an impeccableSimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. Long life and great wet-weather traction are also strong suits for the DWS06 PLUS, with its silica-infused tread compound, sweeping lateral grooves, circumferential grooves, and X-sipes for rainy roads or light wintry conditions. SimpleScore for traction: 9.8. Longevity is also admirable with a 9.2 SimpleScore, and the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is covered by a 60,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty.
3. Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 - Best Winter tire
The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 is our pick for a winter tire, and it can deliver performance that’s more in line with what you’d expect from a premium Grand Touring tire. The Blizzak LM005 gets an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction; it’s designed with Bridgestone’s silica-rich Nano Pro-Tech specialized tread compound that stays flexible in subfreezing weather and a directional tread with strong lateral voids for good evacuation of water and slush. The directional tread pattern has zigzag grooves that trap and retain snow to build snow-to-snow friction and a dense pattern of 2D and 3D sipes that multiply traction with hundreds of extra biting edges, giving you shorter braking distances and improved grip for acceleration. Handling, with a SimpleScore of 9.5, is almost equally strong; the Blizzak LM005’s rigid internal structure features a polyester casing with twin steel belts and a nylon cap layer for precise, predictable steering response and cornering. That tough internal design also means a durable tire - the Blizzak LM005 gets a SimpleScore of 8.9 for longevity.
While these are the best BMW 440i tires on the market, there are plenty of other options to consider.
4. Falken Azenis FK460 A/S - Great UHP All-Season tire
Here at SimpleTire, we’ve been pretty impressed by just about everything in the Falken brand for some time now, and the Azenis FK460 A/S is no exception. The Falken Azenis FK460 A/S is a tire you can consistently depend on for confident, tenacious grip, with its advanced 4D Nano tread compound. Even as the tire’s tread depth wears down, the innovative Emerging Grooves tech is designed to open the grooves up and expand for extended performance. The Canyon Groove design enhances grip in wet or wintry conditions, along with circumferential grooves with chamfered edges that all work together to deliver the grip you need for a traction score of 8.6. Thanks in part to the long wear properties of that 4D Nano tread compound, Falken covers the Azenis FK460 A/S with a 50,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, rating a SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. Steering response, cornering, road manners, and braking performance are all exact and direct with this tire, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. We should also mention here that the Azenis FK460 A/S is quiet and civilized on the highway, with grooves that are acoustically tuned to cut wind noise and keep road noise to a minimum by canceling certain frequencies.
5. Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457) - Great All-Season tire
Let’s wrap up this list with our pick for Great All-Season Tire, the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457). We feel this Hankook is a great fit for the BMW 440i, offering UHP levels of performance along with great wear properties and year-round traction. The Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457) registers a very strong SimpleScore of 8.8 for traction, with its innovative all-season tread that’s designed with circumferential grooves, wide shoulder block notches, sipes and 3D tread blocks and sweeping V-shaped grooves. The Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457) gets a respectable SimpleScore of 8.1 – the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457) is backed by a 45,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty. The high-hardness bead filler and reinforced internal structure as well as the grippy silica-rich tread compound all work to enhance cornering ability, steering response, and road manners for a handling score of 8.7.
