Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

I got a new pair of these great tires, size 245/40r19, to put on my factory BMW 786m rims, but I quickly realized my mistake. For three months of use on the Hong Kong Ring Road and its vicinity with brand new tires, including three cuts on each side, in entirely safe craters. One more simply didn't bother fixing it and ditched it.
The BMW 530dx's handling is appalling in their hands. The car's unpredictable conduct led me to lose faith in it. One good snowball and you'll wither and die.
The speed index is T (up to 190 miles per hour), yet after 5-10 minutes of driving at 150 miles per hour, the exhaust fumes and the smell of burnt rubber are unmistakable.
Not a good choice for speed demons.

Pros

They are quiet, perform well in ruts, and are preferable to summer and studs when the temperature outside is close to freezing.

Cons

C-grade aquaplaning; C-grade controllability on dry pavement, where the sharpness of the steering wheel is substantially reduced compared to summer; D-grade performance on ice, where they appear to be holding, but break down unexpectedly. When traveling over snow, you should not maintain your trajectory.
