There are no 'reviews', just deluded purchase justification from people desperate to convince themselves they bought £50 tyres for a car where a decent tyre costs more than twice that for reasons other than because they wanted the absolute cheapest tyre they could find.
There are some half decent non premium tyres out there but Primewell are very much not among them.
If you don't want to spend £100+ per tyre then don't buy cars fitted with 255 section tyres on 18 inch wheels!

Lets get things into perspective here. I'm driving a rusty 142K BMW on the motorway every other weekend.
I'm not racing on the track or driving like I haven't been laid.
I sit back listen to Radio 4 and pick my nose.
I'm sure these tyres will be fine. If not I'll replace them with some Sunny ones!
It could be a rust coloured 900k mile BMW or it could be a brand new one, it makes absolutely no difference and I'm not sure why you think it would.
Besides, you told us only last week you do 80mph on country lanes, thats not cruising down the Motorway in the slow lane is it?

Yea, because only people who race on a track need anything more than 'Primewell' tyres.
You're kidding yourself - I paid just under 300 fitted for an actual "good" set of rears recently. No you don't need to spend that much to get s decent tyre but any rear under 120 quid or so will be absolutely brutal. You don't even need to know anything about tyres to realise that, just look at the range of cost they come in at and make a judgement from that
The "reviews" are ******** too, of course you can invoke DSC on a 325 when driving it ham fistedly, regardless of what tyre is on. Quite surprised your willing to try such cheap nasty crap Tbh, by all means put a reasonably priced tyre on that has at least some proper evidence on its performance but those things will be horrible

I beat that and bought some Michelin PS3's for the rears a couple of years back. Guess what ? they lasted 9 months and never felt 400 quids worth lol
I'll feedback in a couple of days....I reckon they won't be as Bad as the Accelera PH1
They all have to pass safety checks Thats because they were Michelin PS3's, a quick search would have told you that despite the name they were not the replacement for the PS2 and are not Michelin's performance tyre, that is now the Pilot SuperSport.
You'd have been better off with Contisport Contact 5 or Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 both of which cost less and perform better than the Michelin.

I was on the Verge of Buying some Avon ZZ5's from Camskill at £390 but changed my mind and decided to cheap it up.

Hailed as a "flagship tyre for the budget sector" the Primewell Sport 910 will replace the ever popular PZ900, and will be available in 37 sizes ranging from 195/55R15 to 255/35R20 with speed ratings of V to W.
Come on the Sport 910's are UHP tyres
They can't be that turd. Open your mind!

Just to add to this discussion, I once had the misfortune of buying some primewells for my old Ibiza FR about 4 years ago, my god they were terrible, the road noise was awful, the handling was awful and they didn't last particularly well either.
That was the first and last time I ever bought budget tyres. Lesson learned.

To be fair different tyres work better on some cars than others. FWD, RWD weight, torque ,power, all play a part.
3.5 million UK drivers use them currently having done some research. Including public transport and Haulage firms.

You are quite literally quoting Primewells own press release, it is they who are saying its a 'flagship tyre' not anyone else.
True though this may be it's somewhat unlikely that a tyre that was total garbage on an Ibiza turns out to great on an E46.
This is hardly suprising given many will simply ask for the cheapest possible tyre to be fitted irrespective of performance.
Not sure what relevance this has.

I could imagine PS3s if they are anything like the PE2 would have quite a soft sidewall for such a big car.
My dad just fits crap tyres and always has. Going from crap worn tyres to new crap tyres feel good so you can justify it to yourself I think.

The car is currently fitted with 4x Falken FK 452's
