As good as any other low-mid range brand I would imagine (unless they are the semi-slicks Avon make)

so just ride them out then ?

I personally would, although I'm sure others will be along to say that you shouldn't, you need CSC6 otherwise you will be in a ditch etc

lol ok thanks
Any thoughts on the CSC5 Runflats? I can get two Star fitment tyres for £164 a tyre just to tide me over until the fronts are worn and replace all four with Non-RFTs. Currently running Bridgestone S001 but don't really want to pay £220 a tyre if I don't have to!
Howard was right to start with, PC6 replaces PC5 and SC5.

I wouldn't choose SC5 over PC6.
Don
Didn't know that so apologies - just based it on my personal experience with premiumcontact5 that are frankly horrible. Be interesting to see if premium contact 6 are available in the size my focus takes (215/55r16).
17" and upwards for the PC6, 16" and below is left with the EcoContact.
Don
Apparently not - according to Continental's own site it is available in 16"

Shame there tyre selector doesn't seem to work, as can't actually find out whether can get them in my size

PC6s it is then! Shame they won't match the fronts but I guess they'll wear out soon enough.

Conti don't make PS2 - so it's either Michelin PS2 or Conti PC2

Are these any good? : Falken Azenis FK510 for 225 35 19 there at £94 a tyre and it says they are normally £150.
Don
Don't go by the "normally £xxx" because they never were - look around other sites and see what the "normal" price for them is.
They will probably be a reasonable tyre, but you are unlikely to find any unbiased reviews of them (e.g. you will only get people saying how good they are on and how cheap). To put it in perspective though the difference between those and a known top performing tyre (Goodyear F1A3) is only £30/corner more:

(the Goodyears should "normally be £248.50"!!!)
Not really, no. They review really well so I picked some up, turned my nice handling car into a blancmange, grip level is indeed excellent though. Feels just like an Eagle f1 as2 tbh.
just purchased 2 more pilot sport 4s to replace the fronts on my E92. Had the rears done a couple of months ago with the same.
Should get a few years out of them with only doing about 2.5k miles per year
Sounds good
How are you getting on with the rears? Noticed any soft sidewall issues? Squirming under hard acceleration etc?
On my E92, the fronts feel the same as the MPSS (which had 4mm left) for feel, loads better in the wet though. Really pleased with them. Soemtimes i think the soft sidewall is really a new tyre effect as you have low tread replaced by full tread.
Rear MPSS will be replaced with the MPS4S soon i think. I'm also going 10mm wider each axle. (255 fr and 275 rear)
