A performance tyre fitted as o/e to the BMW - very good tyre wear coupled with excellent grip in wet or dry. The only criticsim being a low profike tyre is the noise level but small price to pay for all the benefits!

Very "hard" and uncompromising tyre. Grip in damp/wet conditions poor. Uncomfortable ride especially on country roads.
