These are all season tires and was thinking of giving them a shot. Anyone else thinking of getting them? Reviews are glowing. Not sure if the initial reviews are all hyped up/ paid / sponsored by Michelin.

I'm also considering this. I spoke to a couple tire shops in the NJ area - looks like they were officially released July 1. However, won't be until Sept 1 that size I need will be available.

Interesting point is that there are two different variants of this tire. Basically the speed ratings are different. Wondering if I should just go for the lower speed rated tires( upto 140mph). That is more than enough and more importantly about 1 lb lighter than the higher speed rated tire.

Btw there is also this hankook noble s2 that has been released. Really wish there were some reviews though.

Bump!!
Any one tried these yet? There are some folks on the E90 forum who have tried them and the reviews seem to be a bit mixed. Everyone seemed to agree that performance is top grade but there is mixed opinion on comfort.

If you have these, please chime in.

I have not tried them but am 95% sure I am getting these to replace my car's run flats when it comes in. I know I will give up some winter traction to a tire like the DWS Contis but I like how it is performing at almost summer tire levels including great wet traction. I will give up a little winter traction for that level of performance.

In terms of comfort, I am assuming these will be better than the stock run flats so that is good enough for me.
