I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

BMW X5 car. Regular 19th discs were replaced by different-wide 20th. Unfortunately, the choice of rubber in a combination of 275/40 R20 (front) and 315/35 R20 (rear) is not great. I was pleasantly surprised that after switching from the regular 19th GoodYear Run Flat to the 20th Michelin, the car became softer. This is both Michelin praise (don't think of it as advertising), and a stone in the direction of the terrible GoodYear.
Every day I drive from the suburbs on the motorway at a speed of 150-170 and enjoy the silence and comfort of rubber (the suspension of the X5 is not the softest). I don't play checkers (!). This rubber is definitely not for this style of driving - sharp changes will not be accurate, the car can "wobble". Take care of yourself and other drivers!

Pros

- quiet; - soft; - it is not necessary to "warm up the rubber" for the first 10-15 minutes to achieve normal grip (unlike the "oak" Dunlop Sport SP Maxx, Yokohama Advan Sport and other "sports" tires); - good braking; - adequately drains water (until a new one even at 170 km / h in significant rain emerges, what will happen next, we'll see).

Cons

- boring tread pattern (I don't care, but someone likes asymmetric rubber or directional pattern more); - average grip when cornering (this is a direct consequence of the softness); - high price.
