Result: Would you buy again? Definitely
Comment:
I had exactly the same tyre and size on a E34 BMW 525 Touringand was amazed at the grip and braking in the wet and the wear after over 30000 kms. When I bought my newer BMW E39 already fitted with these tyres (with a few thousand kms wear) I was confident to buy the car. I drive smoothly and calmly with the occasional 'mad minute' on the open road and have NEVER lost grip apart from in the recent snow/ice. In these wintry conditions the car was easy to drive, but almost impossible to move away from standstill when stopped on ice - admittedly with only 3 - 4mm of tread left. I would fit these tyres again, but apparently Kumho replaced them with KH17 - which is not getting good reviews.
