Greetings to everybody, I am now examining tires for my 320D xDrive. I have seen that the Conti SportContact 7s are well regarded; nonetheless, my primary issue pertains to their durability, since many individuals have indicated that they exhibit rapid wear.

Does anybody has experience with them? I cover a significant number of miles, so if they exhibit faster wear than others, it might be prudent to consider alternatives.

Thank you

I possess them on my M4 compilation. I cannot comment on the durability; but, from the perspectives of grip and feedback, they are exceptional. They exhibit enhanced performance when subjected to moderate heat; nonetheless, I am rather pleased so far.

Thank you very much! The performance seemed really satisfactory, therefore I will likely go with them. Less costly than alternatives; if their durability is worse, it is acceptable. I am unable to locate any discussions about wear online.

Attire? The wear differential between a 2L diesel and an M4 is contingent upon driving behaviour. The M4 driver operates with caution, akin to Miss Daisy, but the 2L diesel driver exhibits reckless behaviour, as if he has stolen the vehicle.

I often cover extensive distances on the freeway and never drive aggressively. Had I had an M4, the narrative would likely alter significantly, humorously speaking.

Not in Wales, where the speed limit is 20 mph. šŸ˜†

It is not possible to warm the tires here in Wales

Indeed, Wales!
My wife completed her speed awareness course last week after driving at 30 mph on a primary route in Wales.
Implement the 30% tax if necessary, but refrain from imposing a tax just due to mismanagement of national finances....

Indeed! The Conti Sport Contact 7 is now receiving significant attention. Despite the passage of time, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S remains the benchmark.
You are not pursuing marginal improvements on the NĆ¼rburgring, and a premium tyre remains a premium tyre; nonetheless, please inform us of the wear characteristics of the Continentals should you choose that option.

I attended a Foo Fighters concert last year at the Principality Stadium. Uncertain of our hotelā€™s location, the GPS was malfunctioning. I briefly encroached into a bus lane and subsequently received a citation.

Currently, Continental tires significantly outperform Michelin tires. I regret not having remained with Continental. In fact, all premium brands are satisfactory; however, for high-speed road or track performance, Continental 7 is the superior choice. This week, discussions on M3Cutters revealed that many have transitioned to Continental and are highly satisfied. Even those who previously favoured brand prestige have switched to experience the acclaim, and none have claimed that Continental tiresOne observation I must make is that they are not aesthetically pleasing on the vehicle; Michelins remain superior in that regard.
