Initial Review, 3000 Miles on Tires
November 29, 2011

Bought these to replace Yoko AVS that had been on the car for many years (I had stored car for several years). I only put a few thousand miles a year on the 750il, so I wanted to trend towards the less expensive side in replacing the tires. Overall I have been very happy with the performance of the Contis. Minimal road noise, fairly crisp handling, and good wet traction. I wouldnt call them cutting-edge performance (in the past i have run the car with Mich Pilots that probably offered a bit sharper turn-in, but werent great in the wet and rode more harshly), but they perform perfectly well for aggressive street driving. Keep in mind the 750 weighs in at over 4300, so a tire needs to be beefy to not feel mushy on this beast. I occasionally run the 750 at some pretty good rates of speed on a nice deserted stretch of highway we have around here, and with the Contis the car has felt very stable well into the triple digits. Overall, i would definitely recommend the tire, and would buy them again. Not sure about tire life as they are new, but to me longevity isnt important given my low annual miles i put on the car.
