These were replaced like for like and recommended by BMW so I have no reference for comparison, they do the job they are meant to. The run-flat combined with the M Sport setup do give quite a hard ride, potholes!! but this was expected. All in all, so far, I have had no problems with these tyres.

They are loud & hard. You feel every inch of the bumpy road. But they are grippy for the first 10,000 miles. Then get they get a bit slippy. I have them on my BMW 125D M Sport

Very cool tires. I compare them to the Pirelli P Zero Nero in the same size. Generally they are very similar - that is very good. Bridgestone Potenza S001 are more predictable and give more warning signs. At the same rim Bridgestone tyres are clearly wider. Tyres allow a lot, both on dry and wet roads, except that they are always predictable. Potenza has less rolling resistance - parking maneuvers also noticeably easier, the wheel is not spinning too much.

I find that good but not exceptional tires. Road noise is quite remarkable. Wear rate seems average. They were very good value - especially at the price offered by Oponeo.
