Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR Runflat

I have installed two new tyres at the front side for one week.Everything feels similar compared to the Pirelli P-Zero which is at the rear side. One thing that I am surprised is the tyre depth is only 6mm when new! I am not sure how long they will last.

Only run these 1000 miles so far on a Z4, but find them a huge improvement over the dreadful 2G Potenza - bearing in mind Bridgestone refuses to supply its supposedly improved 3G tyre for after sales. This new Continental feels more planted and progressive, without the weave, tramlining and neurotic behaviour of the Bridgestones. The Continentals handle and ride far better, though at slightly softer pressures than the Potenzas. Run at BMW's higher pressures (fine for track days, not for today's crumbling "roads") the Continentals can be painfully hard too. Too early to judge wear and other factors but, having decided to stick with runflats (not everyone's choice, I know!) it was a good move to dump the 2G Bridgestones. Can't vouch for the 3G - I can't buy them!
