I've used them before and they're ok. Maybe you should take a look at the Bridgestone SO-3's.

nong, did you see this post from Luke. They rate number 5.

I don't recommend them? Had them on my 98 E430. The are noisy, get more noisy as they wear, and mine seemed to wear out very quickly. The ride was not stable at high speed and seem to wander the road. Did not inspire confidence at high speeds above 80 to me. If you need a all season tire try the Yokohama AVS dB or Dunlop SP Sport 5000.

IMO, P7000s are a piece of crap. I wouldn't buy them.

Yes, as E55KEV & Peter have stated, the P7000 Supersport is VERY VERY noisy & a piece of crap. The compound is hard, thus making the ride harsher. If you want all-season tire, I strongly recommend you to try Bridgestone RE950, I like it VERY much. IMO, probably the best all-season tire available.

I didnt like them when I had them on my car. Im on Kumhos now and they are much better and they were cheaper too.
