I got these and the 295/35/19 size for my F10 M5.
I was curious to see how £700 for a full set of tyres compares the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s and Continental Sport Contact 7 which are double the price for a full set.
The Michelins were good but the sidewall is ugly, as is the rim protector design. They also lacked turn in feel.
The continentals were epic in almost every way, especially in the wet.
Comparatively I’d say the RS820 is only 10% behind the Michelins and maybe 15-20% behind the Continentals when you’re really pushing it.
I’m well aware of my limits and don’t track my car so if these Falken RS820’s wear sensibly, I’ll fit another set.
They behave predictably and don’t suddenly lose traction, they are also reasonably responsive in the cold spring mornings we are having.
They also have a nice minimalist side wall design, although I’m not a fan of the font used for the tyre size.
One thing to note is that the RS820 did take more weights to balance than the other two brands I’ve mentioned. But there isn’t any vibration at autobahn speeds.
