As promised, a mini review of the new tyres after 500 miles.
Compared to the Dunlop runflats they are a softer ride on everyday road surfaces. I can’t notice any more road noise than before and handling seems very good. I pushed it into some corners a few times and I can sense more tyre wall movement - but it’s minimal to be honest. Certainly not a ‘light and day’ difference.
Handling in the wet seems very positive, no problems with grip at all.
Price wise these are half the price of the Dunlops.
There is some rim protection, although no where near as big on the tears as the Dunlop’s. The fronts are about the same.
These tyres also come with the red and yellow spots that aid in the wheel balancing. They had to be rebalanced a couple of times as the ‘mobile’ service simply cannot balance tyres on the drive(!). Had to take it to BMW who then rebalanced them totally for £60. They were miles out!
These cost £600’ish for 2 x 245/35/20 and 2 x 275/30/20 from Tyres on the Drive.
Hope this review helps someone!
