Result: Would you buy again? Probably not
Comment:
They do the job. I got these tires as they are the only ones recommended by the BMW dealer and had the best reviews for all-season run-flats. I have had no issues thus far and they seem to hold air very well. I would like a little better ride comfort and the road noise is low, but noticeable. Biggest complaint is they just ride rather hard and heavy. This is particularly noticeable in the upstate NY where the roads have lots of bumps and holes from the winter punishment. Maybe they would be better in the south with better pavement. For my next set I will be getting summer tires on new rims and just buy a fix-a-flat kit to stick in the trunk. When winter comes around I will stick them on the customs and just swap when the season ends.
