BMW 523I Tire Review Highlights
For it's price, this is probably the best tire I've had, alongside the nexen su4.
Dry grip is good, wet grip is superb. I've never lost the slightest bit of grip even in intense rain with massive puddles.
Moderately noise and bumpy.
I'm not a spirited driver but feedback and sportiness feels acceptable.
10k miles in still massive amount of tread.
100% worth a try. These tires are within 5% of performance from the last Michelin PS4 I've used

A very good blend of sport touring tire. Switched from smaller diameter runflats, comfort is still marginally better. Tire performs as described, perfect for everyday use. Holds on in corners very well at any speeds. Good in wet and colder (3-7 °C) temperatures too. No manufacturing quality issues. Can't comment on wear so far. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Great dry and wet grip.
Works perfectly well with Koni AS struts.

Likely due to it being a run flat, but terribly uncomfortable and loud, on standard suspension. Okay grip in dry, but bumps in the road completely ruin both the ride quality and your grip, latter especially in the wet. Only positive is the wear, as my set lasted about 50.000 km-s and still have thread depth, but the ride quality is so bad with these i will never equip run flats again.

Having switched from Continental Premium Contact 5, I could immediately feel a disconcerting vagueness in the steering and handling of the car. It instantly feels less connected to the road. Floaty and even that 'slippery' feel. It could well be due to that the specially-formulated compound that is to give Primacy 4 its low wear and rolling resistance properties. But it does not inspire as much confidence as the CPC tires I have been using for the last 15 years or so. So much so I have made a mental note to exercise greater caution when driving in the torrential rain. However the Primacy 4 rewards abundantly in competently smoothing out the unevenness in the roads and offering a quiet cabin for a most comfortable drive.

Great tire for the price I will be buying them again . I rotated mine every 6000 miles and they lasted longer than the way more expensive Dunlops I had on before hand they also handled very well in the dry and the wet highly recommended .

Killer tires on wet surface.
Still have them on my BMW E60 since those were already mounted when I bought them. I live in Ireland where weather is moist and rain is expected all the time.
If not a traction control of BMW I would have my BMW crashed multiple time already.

The worst tires I have ever had. I fear for my life everytime I set out. No grip, extremely noisy and uncomfortable. If they hadn't been fitted on the car when I bought it I would be asking for my money back. I'm changing them this weekend despite there being plenty of tread - something I've never had to do before in 30 years of driving.

It was real comfort tire compare to my ex ps3.
Above average on grip, traction on wet and dry road.
Reasonable price and wear rate.
You can't go extreme with this tire as it was more bias on comfort even it was tagged efficient grip performance. Above 210kmh, it does feel floaty and this never happended on my ps3.
Anyway, it was a great tire with no compromise on comfort,road noise and moderate spirit drive.
