These tyres, which are run flats, were fitted to my car when I brought it used from my local BMW dealer. There is a note in the manual saying that they were fitted at 15000 miles and the car has now covered 50000 so the wear has been very good. Apart from that I can't think of anything else positive to say about them. They are very noisy and the ride is very hard, making journeys uncomfortable and tireing. You can feel every defect in the road surface. I don't know who in BMW thought that it was a good idea to fit these tyres in combination with sport, (very firm), suspension but they obviously never tested them on the roads we have here in Devon. I think these were designed to be used on an autobahn, not typical British A & B roads with lots of pot holes and poor surfaces. I can't wait for these to wear out so that I can replace them with something better, probably Uniroyal Rainsport 2s, providing that I still have a spine by then!
