As expected, when I arrived at the installer, I was told installation would be more than what was advertised on the Amazon website. As for installation, I missed the note about paying for installation when you buy the tires. All I have for comparison are the Contis, and these P7s seem to be better in all categories. Will these "last"? That remains to be seen. I know there are lots of tire reviews out there, and I think it's interesting that people seem to be very picky about how well their tires perform, and are quick to rate down if the tires don't check all the boxes. In short, I think I made a very good choice. The ride is also superior to the Contis by a noticeable margin. And I have also found them to be very stable on wet pavement as well. The P7s worked as good as some winter-rated tires in the TireRack video, which very much impressed me. That was an important consideration for me, because we get all variety of winter weather in this region, and you need tires that will work in icy and snowy conditions. I looked at a TireRack review of winter tires, which compared these All-Season run-flats with other tires rated as winter tires. There are a few options out there, and I even considered replacing them with more Contis, but after getting these, I'm very glad I didn't. The biggest challenge I had was trying to decide which run-flats I wanted to put on my BMW. The Amazon price on these was really good. One service rep had told me that after five years, the tires were dry-rotted, and it's p ossible that's the case, but the rear tread was at point it wouldn't have passed inspection, so it was time to change them anyway. The Contis lasted about 35K miles, but when I hit a nasty pothole heading into DC, four inches of the sidewall blew out completely. I bought these as replacements to the factory Continental "Conti-Pro" run-flats.
