BMW F11 520d Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the BFGoodrich gGrip given 67% (245-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
These tyres came fitted to my car when I purchased it. They were approximately 50% worn and were 2 years old. I managed another 2 years and 25,000 miles driving before they were done. The side wall was quite soft and althought at the end of life the side wall developed a buldge due to low tyre pressure, the tyre didn't fail or blow out. Grip was generally adequate wet and dry, although feedback and handling did not inspire confidence. Switched to Contiental Sport Contact 3 SSR and the handling is much improved.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR Run flat given 91% (245-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Bought these tyres as a replacement front set to the previous set of BF Goodrich over 2 years & 30,000 miles. Such an improvement. The car feels and handles so much better, turns in sharper and much more grip. I havn't noticed any significant drop in comfort with the run-flats over standard tyres, maybe a few more minor bumps but barely noticeable.

Writing about the Nexen N Fera SU1 given 66% (245-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6200 spirited miles
Dry Grip: the grip level is not really hight, especially in braking. Wet Grip: feels safe on wet. Easy to control with an predictable behavior. Road feedback: you can notice quite early, wenn the tire loses grip. Street conditions are also good noticeable in the steering wheel. Handling: The behavior of the tire is very predictable. It is signalizing early if it loses grip. The front and rear is very balanced on my car (weight distribution f/r/ ~47/53) and the tyre handles very good with it. Especially in the wet. But the overall grip level is not on the level of an PS4. Wear: Im driving the tyre for 6 month and 10000km. Often i take curves hard and one time i was driving on fast mountain roads. So i wonder how slowly the tyres are wearing. Comfort: could be a little bit quieter for a touring tyre and a little bit less bumpy. But in total, you can live with it fairly well. Buy again: If you want a real UHP tyre and can spend a little bit more money, this is not the right tyre for you. If you will safe money and want a slowly wearing touring tyre which is good in the wet, this is the right tyre for you.
