Winter tyre test 275/35 R19 - Sportauto 2025

SportAuto tested winter tyres on rear-wheel drive BMW M4 in real winter: best tyres in 275/35 R19

Some of the owners of the BMW M4 don't drive their cars in winter at all, some of them do, but buy the M4 xDrive version. But what if you want to drive the puristic rwd M4? SportAuto got you covered and tested it with 7 different sets of tyres. The rear axle is light, the traction control is bossy, and every lamella is doing two jobs at once: finding grip and keeping the car honest when the chassis wants to go sideways. In sport auto’s October 2025 test, six proper winter tyres—and one all-season as a reality check—had to prove they can do it all: snow, cold rain, cold dry, plus the sensible bits (rolling resistance and noise). The scoring leans the way winter actually happens in Germany: wet counts the most, then dry, then snow, and a smaller but real nod to efficiency and comfort.
