Only tyres I've had on the car so not able to compare against others. These tyres have been very good I've been impressed first time experiencing Yokohama. They have been good in dry, wet, hot and cold. Only complaint was in snow, they were terrible, in fact my worst snow driving experience ever. I believe it was the tyres not not car for reason performed so poorly in snow.

I replaced my Continental Sportcontact 7 with Pirelli P Zero PZ5s. The Continentals were very good in the dry and wet, the Pirellis are better.
I've had Goodyear Asymmetric 6, Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Falken Azenis 520.
But the Pirellis are very, very good.

Fitted to my 520d MHT touring at 24,426 to replace the OEM which had failed an MOT. I have covered a further 30,000 and replaced with with Nexen. See below is a photo of the tyre removed. Fitter said could have done more miles!. Ride and handling better than RFT and comfort too. Wear is very uniform and no punctures or bulges. I do check them weekly and keep the recommended pressure correct.

Bought the car second hand from a non franchise dealer who fitted x4 non run flat tyres as a requirement of the sale. I had not come across Nexen previously but after 25000 trouble free miles I have been pleased with their overall performance. When compared to the OEM tyres fitted to my previous 520d I found the ride to be more comfortable and no loss of wet/dry grip or fuel economy. The rears are due for a change so I will look at Nexen brand again.

I really liked these tyres on my BMW. They gripped really well, and never slipped even at end of life. I would have preferred to get a little bit more miles from them but at 18,000 miles, but they are now on the minimum wear markers. The only down side is the cost to replace them. I would love to get them again, but they have shot up in price in the last 2 years.

I'm using them on my BMW 520d G31 M Sport, quite happy with those tyres and maybe because I drive a lot on the motorway (normal driving) lasted over 50k miles on the front (245/45/18) and over 30k on the rear (275/40/18). Pretty noisy on the road (run flat...) and not very good on wet, but I'm definitely going to use them again.

Runflat version. These are probably the most comfortable runflat's I've driven on. Dry and wet handling are both tidy, nothing too sporty but safe and predictable. Seem to wear pretty well too.

WARNING!
If you've got a RWD car and are looking to buy these in order to keep you moving in winter, DON"T. After a light snowfall I tried to climb a very slight incline in my 520D, I couldn't. The car just ran out of momentum even with a run up. Never had this issue with either Bridge A005s or Goodyear V4 G2 in similar cars. I ended up reversing up the incline. Terrible tyres for snow.
They're fine in other conditions but that's not why people buy all weather tyres.

A good all rounder grip wise, but really noisy at speed and under braking. Noise aside they a quality lost-lasting tyre. Trying a set of Cooper CS-Sport next.

Bought the car with these tires on. I can safely say these are the worst tyres I have had the displeasure of driving. The 5 series is a big car but to lose the front of the car on roundabouts with your family in is not funny. We don't drive the car hard and with these tires even less. I will be swapping them as soon as possible. Very poor performance and boarder line lethal in the wet. Would not recommend for anyone with a big car.
