BMW e90 M3 Tyre Review Highlights

Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
Follow on to my review from December 2013. I have now had these on the rear of the car for over 3,000 miles. I've driven a complete mix of weather conditions from torrential rain with standing water, very cold, wet, salty roads, dry sunny roads etc. The tyres have given me no moments at all. Yes you can provoke the back end of the car by stabbing the throttle when applying some steering lock but all very predictable. I have driven the car in every mode of the traction control from fully on, M-Dynamic mode through to fully disengaged and the car does what you expect it to. I've come out of junctions in 1st and 2nd gear with a heavy right foot and the M-diff just hooks up and the car fires down the road. If the tyres were as lethal as some of the scaremongers on here they wouldn't be able to sell them.
Reading comments like I lost control at 20mph or at 74mph on a motorway makes me wonder what kind of drivers are out there on our roads. If you can totally lose control of a car in those situations perhaps it's time to hand back your driving license?
As I previously stated when these wear out which seems like it's going to be ages as they show no signs of any wear yet, I will go for a premium brand to see the difference. I will report back in another couple of months now that the better weather is arriving.

Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 average miles
Bought an E90 BMW M3 which had a pair of these on the rear. I didn't even look at the brand of tyres when I bought the car.
I drove the car back over 160 miles on damp and wet roads. Gave the car full throttle on several slip roads in 2nd gear right through to 8,400 rpm putting 414bhp down on the road with no issue. I'm not saying I'd personally opt for them if I was having new tyres fitted but I've had no moments even driving fast on wet country roads. Anyone saying they are lethal in the wet needs to take a long hard look at their driving style. You clearly have no feel for a car or the limits of the tyres.
I can get the tail out in a nice progressive, predictable slide coming out of wet junctions. When they wear out I'll probably go for a premium brand but that's nothing to do with the performance of these tyres.
Give them a go if you're undecided. If a 4litre V8 can't break traction in the wet in a straight line under full throttle then most of you should be good.

Loads of dry grip, surprisingly good in the wet too. They seem to be wearing a bit quickly but the dry grip makes up for that! Surprisingly comfortable too.
