Fitted as a replacement for the original Continental UHP runflats on my x5 msport. Big improvement in terms of steering response and feel, grip and handling much improved, quieter and more compliant ride. Cannot comment on wear as only had them for 2 months/ 2000 miles. They are expensive but are well worth the difference they make to how the X5 drives and behaves.

Coming from the standard Bridgestone RFTs these are amazing. Much more comfortable, better feedback through the wheel and car, plus more predictable handling.
No wet or wear ratings as they're still quite new (less than 1000km).

OEM on Jag XF, these are quite good tires. Steering feel is perfect, understeer almost nonexistent. Comfort and noise levels reasonable, but wear is poor and breaks traction quite easily in the wet (550 Nm doesn't help). Overall, would buy again (esp. if RFT is desired).

Dry grip is very good, but wet grip tends to be be less and make you feel less confident about it. Nonetheless a good tire overall and comfort is way about the bridgestone potenza RE050 that came stock with the car. If i am looking for run flats I would definitely buy these over the RE050. Wear wise I can't comment cos only ran 9000km plus but they still look good to me.

Positive: they wear evenly as compared to other run flat tires I used (Michelin Pilot Primacy ZP, Continental Sport Contact 2 SSR), thus generating less noise due to the irregular wear. The grip on dry and wet is excellent, the braking distance is short. They are also slightly cheaper ("only" Euro 200 each before installation).
Negative: they are hard as other run flat tires. I check tire pressure once each month, but they still wear out fast. After 6000km easy going driving on mostly highways, half of the tire depth is gone. The tires may last around 12000km in total, which are expensive for the price.
At this tire size, there are not many run flat tire choices. At least these tires have much newer technology and have better reviews compared to others (Bridgestone RE050A run flat and Continental sport contact 2 SSR). Sometimes I am thinking of replacing them with normal tires, but it doesn't seem safe and interesting to use either spare wheels or tire sealant on the highway shoulder especially in dark. So probably I will stay with these tires.
