Pros: good price
sieht eigentlich garnicht so wild aus, aber mit Seitenwand w\u00fcrde ich niemals spa\u00dfen. mach neu.
Pros: nicht so wild
Cons: Seitenwand niemals spa\u00dfen

Only problem is the tires are transmitting way too much noise into cabin . But other than that it is an incredible ride.
Pros: incredible ride
Cons: too much noise
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 8500 km
Also ideally get low rolling resistance tires that can get you an extra 5% range next time you need new tires.
Pros: extra 5% range

I have a ‘22, other than tires and brakes, I’ve only had regular maintenance service done. It’s a dream luxury liner to drive.
Pros: dream luxury liner

Tires still alive with 5.5 on rear and 6.5 on front.
Pros: good longevity, even wear
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 21000 km
BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.
Pros: superior handling
Cons: tires wear out faster

And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.
Pros: dealer dealt with it
Cons: tire was not cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 48000 km
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Cons: worst performing tire, dangerous
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I have a 2024 BMW IXM60 that came with run-flat tires. While driving around 40 mph, I hit a pothole and the run-flat instantly went flat and did not at all feel safe to drive on except for a couple blocks back to my home. I would not spend the extra money for run flats, did not find any benefit at all from it.
Pros: no benefit at all
Cons: instantly went flat
