My Ride: 2004 530i, steelgray, step, premium, cold package, xenons
The non-sport package 530i's in the US are arriving either with Goodyear RS-A's or Continental CV95's.
Any experience with either -- especially regarding road noise?

I have the Goodyears w/ just over 17,000 miles on them. I agree with the wet traction assessment but have to disagree about the tire noise. No such issue in my experience. Overall pleased but will go with something else when its time for a change, which is not anytime soon from the looks of the tread...

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Had RS-A's on a Grand PRix a few years ago and loved them - great all season traction and we get our fair share of bad weather in Ohio. I replaced them with Michelin XGT something at the recommendation of the tire guy at the tire store and noticed signifcantly worse all season traction. I do not drive at the edge so I do not know about the difference in performance of the two tires. But I did notice a significant difference in bad weather. The worn Goodyears were better than the new Mich's.
