Since I have upgraded to 19's and these tyres come with the car I must admit they are much better then the OEM Pirelli run flats. The run flats were a harsh and hard ride but I suppose they are designed that way.
The CSC2 are superb it’s been dry for a couple of weeks now and they are awesome turn in sharp the tyres offer loads of grip and give confidence when pushed to limit. Everyday cruising they are perfect and have low road noise. We did have a dribble last weekend and I managed to get them up and running and to be honest they felt superb handling was excellent in the wet and under heavy braking these tyres did not let me down.
So all in all an excellent tyre wet and dry I have not had them on long enough to comment on wear but over 10k and ill be happy.

Recently purchased my first bmw 5 series running on runflats Goodyear Eagle NCT5,after 1 month with the car decided to get away from the tramming,harsh,unpredictable ride and sought out every review possible and bought a full set of PS 4,s and the difference was unbelieviable.Finally felt like i was driving a premium car on premium rubber,ride was quiet and extremely grippy in all weathers and from MWay to B roads a superb feel all round.Cant comment on the wear because ive not had them long enough,but could not be more delighted with there performance to date.

These tyres transformed my BMW 5series from one of the worst cars in winter to one that goes to places where only 4 wheel drives dare go- fantastic- get yourself a 2nd hand set of smaller rims and get these on, you will not be disappointed, Also got some Nanking winters for my wives 1 series which are nowhere near as good

Fitted these three to my BMW 520D and am really impressed. Road holding is great and there is really good steering feedback through the bends. Turn in is crisp and the tyres really impart a sense of safety.
Grip is good in both wet and dry conditions and I am pleased to report that road noise is very quiet indeed.
Ride is very comfortable as well. Overall this is a very good quality tyre that matches the characteristics of my BMW very well. Good value as well with 50% off second tyre deals available in the high st.

I have put two brand new ones on the back of my BMW 520 rear wheel drive, these tyres are really good especially for what you pay for it, Part of Continental brand too.
Dry grip is excellent , wet grip is superb, i tried going fast around the round about to see if the back end slides in heavy rain, but it doesnt, my old tyres use to slide always in the rain. comfort is OK, could be better but then again these are low profile tyres so theres bound to be more road noise.

20K miles on the rear of BMW 520D. First set of non-runflats on the car and performed better than almost every other premium brand (run-flat) tyre I've had. lasted 20K miles - up to 4 times longer than some previous sets. would definitely buy again.

Have these on my BMW 520D and cover around 20,000 miles per year, no complaints at all - handle well in all weather and wear incredibly slowly on mix of urban and motorway driving. Definitely buy again.

Rear tyres lasted 42,000 before replacement and I wish i hadn't listened to the person who persuaded me that Bridgestone were much quieter & better grip ...didn't make a blind bit of difference, except that the Bridgestones wore out inside 30,000.
Front tyres have just passed 80,000 miles and 4mm of tread left, but I do 70% of miles straight line at motorway limits.
Incidentally, I have had punctures (and repairs) on both of the front run-flats and they are perfectly fine ...Hi Q is the place to go.
