Had 2 successive sets on my A6 2.7T and put about 35K per set on them. I chose the M+S version for wear purposes,and liked them for general use. Quiet, gripped OK, good turn in and reasonable price.
Dont think I would consider them on my 545i sport, mainly because of the far better driving dynamics in the 5. Didn't matter as much in the Audi.

I think it makes a big difference which car you are actually putting them on.
What is the M+S version btw?

I have the non M+S version and like them a lot but I only have the Bridgestone Potenza RFT to compare them.

I believe M+S stands for mud and snow. It's the all season version of the pzero nero's. The non M+S is the summer version.

I hope we can compare summer tyres, not the M+S ones.
Pirelli's is fore sure one of the choices, the other ones are:
Michelin PS2
Conti SC3
Bridgestone Potenza RE50A
GY Eagles
and all, please - NON RF's!
PS. The leading EU carmagazine AutoBild will have a test on 235/35 19" tyres!
Anyone have some data on this test yet?

The M+S tyres are a compromize. They might do the job in countries with no real winter...

I go for the July 4th, but the M+S are not summer perf tyres.
The fact seems to be, that the E60 do not handle perf tyres that well!
Have fun, a month in advance!

That's close to free or at least half the price.
A nice set of 245/40 18" goes for some +900 ? overhere.
With the $ at 1,28 that would mean $1150!
But I would not go for bad tyres.

No idea but I think that the Bridgestone SO3 that I had on my M3 blew both my Pilot Sports and Contis out of the water.
