I was recommended these by a friend who was a long time Conti SC3 user and he felt these were at least as good as those but cheaper and with better wear.
I've only done 1500 miles on them but so far I'm happy I took his advice.
The lateral grip in both wet and dry are of the high standard you'd expect from a major manufacturers flagship product. The two areas which I've been most impressed with are braking and handling. My car has the optional Brembo calipers and it can really shed speed quickly with these tires (albeit only in the dry at least so far). The general handling of the car is also much improved, it feels much more stable,predictable and progressive just generally much nicer to drive.
The tires felt very light to me when delivered. I suspect theres a substantial weight saving per corner when compared to the previous run flats, which might explain a lot.
They also look good when mounted- if thats your thing - the sidewall is quite flush with the rim but just look out for those kerbs!
Highly recommended.

Replaced the previous Bridgestone runflats on my 330d. They are in a different league. Genuinely a class above. So quiet, I didn't realise I had a poorly fitting window seal until I fitted these tires. Paid £462 fitted for 2x225/4018 & 2x255/35/18.
They are also much nicer than the Falken 453 I fitted on the other 330d I had.
Highly recommended

I found these to be excellent tires, having covered 25,000 miles with no problems. I was going to replace them with the same brand, but the price has risen substantially compared to other brands, which is a shame.
