I was happy with these tyres until the inside wall of a rear tyre split. You'd have to see it to believe it but there were 3 splits ranging from 1cm to 10cm. Could be a once off but deinately a tyre fault. This happened with 5mm of thread still remaining.

Terrible terrible tyres!! Bone shatteringly hard. DSC light on more than off on potholed roads. Noisey in town and motorway. The car more or less hops ound corners if there are any undulations.
The good news - Direct Line said that changing to non run flats was acceptable and the insurance was still valid and that it did not amount to a modification. They merely noted the file. Quick Fit said they would not fit them as it would void my insurancebut would have charges £20 a corner.
BMW (Syntners) said they would - provided they had confirmation from my insurance company...but "Of course Sir the car has been designed for these tyres and changing them may change the handling charecteristics" - they would say that wouldnt they.
Brilliant service at Equipe in Heywood Lancs. £39.95 fitted, balanced and valved for 4 tyres. New Vredesteins excellent - the car is like a new car - non of the above problems much quieter

I had these tyres on for 3 days and pulled them off before I ended up in a ditch. Stay away and pay the extra few quid for safe tyres
