Mozzy - I had some of those Fullrun tyres on my E39 530d Sport - in the dry they were acceptable, in the wet they were downright bloody dangerous

I hate them, there so noisey it sounds like my wheel bearings have gone, they grip ok in the dry but I am used to conti sport contact 3's and maybe i am comparing to much to them but after going from a decent tyre to a crap one it makes you realise how big a part tyres add to the handling of a car
