BMW 5 Series M Sport ( E60 ) Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU39 given 96% (245-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Bought the Kumho KU39 after 3 weeks of researching different tyres for my BMW 525d E60. I originally had runflats on my car. RFT in my opinion are the work of the devil!!! The ride is very stiff and extreamly noisy. After changing them to the Kumho Non runflats, I was impressed the moment I drove out of the Tyre garage. The ride home was very comfortable and extreamly quiet, with very little or no road noise. The car is a little lighter to steer and corners so much better.
Kumho tyres really really changed my car.

Writing about the Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR Run flat given 92% (245-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I have always had Goodyear NCT5 Runflats on my 5 Series, just because they were the tyres that came with it when I brought the car, and was generally pleased with them overall for the cost, but recently they have been on back order and I have been unable to get any. After researching on the net I decided to go with either the Pirelli P Series Run Flat tyre, or the Continental Sport Contact Run Flat. I went with the Continental as they got better praise, and I'm glad I did. I have only had them a short while but I noticed a difference immediately the moment I drove away from the tyre shop. The road noise is virtually non existent, the bumps in the road don’t seem so harsh when you ride over them, unlike the Goodyear if you hit the smallest pot hole it was like you were crashing through a wall. The Continental give a much smoother ride, and grip better than the Goodyear in the wet and dry.
I have not had the tyres on long enough to comment on their longevity, but based on the short time I have been using them I would definitely buy them again, only downside of course is the cost, they are a more expensive tyre than the Pirelli and what the Goodyear were, but then again, regardless of who makes them, Run Flat Tyres aren’t cheap.

I have put these on a BMW 535 D M Sport touring and this tyre is by far the best that I have ever experienced. My car is not running on runflats and I have struggled with comfort and wear on other brands. The Michelin is supreme in all areas and you are wasting your time in buying anything else.

Dangerous behaviour on wet road, where the progressiveness is close to null.

I've been teached it in a curve and by luck was able to stop my car before the wall.

Good tyres in other condition yet, I got them for 31000 miles before I need to change them.
