Long Distance

Hi, I'm looking to replace my tyres soon too.
I am a pretty low mileage driver and use 2 cars @ 4k pa, so I have the factory fit Continental RunFlats which i'm fairly happy with (except when crossing road makings in the wet) and they have lasted amazing (27K miles & just going under 4mm).
Last car I had to change the tyres on it made a massive difference so I am looking at all the options, but I think I want to stay run flats since there's no spare.

My Bridgestone S001 lasted 50K!! The ride was terrible, tyre is too firm even with adaptive suspension + 400M. Switching to the ContactSport5 made a massive difference.

My G31 came with Goodyear Asymmetric 3 + 664M, very quiet and refined, having said that, it might down to the different car!

I've got Goodyear F1s all round, comfy ride on standard suspension, cant fault them on ride quality but can be quite noisy on certain road surfaces. Best turn the music up!

The Potenza RFT are awful tyres, I'd forgotten just how hard they were, simply awful and I cannot understand why BMW continue to use RFT tyres.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 still king on the 3 series! the Asymmetric 3 wear down far too quick compared to the 2's. There is so little gain in terms of control and performance its not worth it due to that wear!
