Good tires RunFlat as with this type of tire a little louder, a little shakes more than normal on motorways and highways, they are ok

I was driving to Germany in Christmas 2014 so had to buy winters but I only do around 5000 miles per year so didn't want the expense of separate wheels and both winter / summer tyres. I checked Continental's UK website and they recommended in the UK, if you are only to run one set of tyres, winters would be preferable. I purchased the 830Ps after seeing them rated top in a number of winter reviews but, more importantly, finished above budget brands in a summer tyre review (most people are concerned about winter performance in summer). Personally, I have had no trouble on these tyres, they have gripped well in all conditions from sub zero to 25 degrees c in the summer and in both wet and dry. Note, I have not driven in snow but would expect them to perform well. I have a reasonable right foot and like a good brisk drive through the countryside occasional :-) - in terms of wear, I just had a check up at local BMW dealer and after nearly 1 year and 5k miles the fronts are still close to 8mm and backs are at 7mm so plenty of wear left. I have a mix of mainly town traffic driving but occasional 200 mile motorway journeys. The are quite noisy and I do feel a little more bumpy than previous summer tyres but overall not to the point of being annoying. If you're looking for winters at normal tyre sizes without having to buy two sets then I thoroughly recommend these tyres for your BMW.

Felt very safe to use these winter tires. Never once slipped / lost traction all winter or noticed a difference in the economy of the noise / fuel compared to summer tires. Well worth it and I am eager to put on the car again for the coming winter.

Universal Tire, great in all conditions, lateral, thrust - the highest shelf. Previously I ridden on Dunlop winter sport 4 D. Continentale are better. I would highly recommend

Great tires worked well in all conditions. Until now, riding a Pirelli tires and found no better. However, after the purchase of Continental tires I changed my mind. I would highly recommend.

The best winter tire I've ever ridden. They give a real sense of security in the wet, and are the best in the snow. Completely predictable and controlled.
