I ordered a set of Maxxis VS5 after much deliberation over the cost/risk versus a set of Goodyear ASY6 or Continental Sport Contract 7. I received them today and hopefully they will be fitted later if a mobile guy can fit a visit in. They are made in China if that is important to anyone.

Thank you for 'taking one for the team'! lol

Please do report back with your feelings on them in due course

Will do.

For information the Maxxis VS5 in 225/40/19 & 255/35/19 will be fitted to a 2010 BMW E92 335i that has just undergone a complete brake and suspension upgrade and is currently running the stock Bridgestone runflats in 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. I'm hoping they make a large improvement!

I too will be interested to hear what happens when a high performance saloon with money spent on suspension & braking upgrades responds to mid-range tyres.

On my commute this morning the Maxxis VS5 were more comfortable and quieter than the Bridgestone runflats. That's a couple of big positives that were expected and that I am relieved have been borne out.
