Comment:
Replaced runflats with these Falkens. 320d Msport, These tyres are very firm on an Msport stiff suspension, reduced psi to 26 and runs much better for comfort and holding to road around bumpy bends, side wall still firm. Grip is good all year round well balanced on this car, in the wet the back will tend to give first so very good front grip and control.
Tyre wear is reasonable. Fuel effeciency slightly down approx 2mpg.
These tyres would be great on a slightly softer suspension/shocks. Previously I had escellent GoodYear Assymetrical2 tyres on a 520d Msport and they transformed the car to better handling and comfort, Good Years are more expensive though so Falkens are a good replacement.
