164ft by C&D in a 335i with 19" Bridgestone Potenza summer perf.
Most of the 3's tested were 328i's.
What's surprising is that most of those were "sport lines" that come with summer performance tires, or AS as optional.
However, on this list, all of them have Goodyear Efficient grip tires, which are summer tires, but they are far from "performance" tires.
TireRack shows them as "Grand Touring Summer" tires, which is a few steps away from actual summer PERFORMANCE tires.
UHP all seasons will outperform these tires.
If you looks at TireRacks testing data, summer grand touring are not performance oriented, but more comfort "sporty" tires.
Still, compared to others cars that compete with the 3 series, braking from 60 should be considered excellent.
Compared to actual sports cars and their real summer performance tires,
107 to 115ft is still pretty darn good.
I wonder what type of "summer" tires will go on the Msports?

THANK YOU!
If the 335i gets 109 feet with "touring" tires, would be very interesting to see what it could get with ultra max summer performance Pilot Super Sport tires.
