Even winter run-flats haven't been available for many years in the UK.

I tried to get winter RFTs back in the winter of 2006/7 for my E91. BMW said they didn't support winter RFTs in the UK, as we didn't need them. Bridgestone, with one of the OEM approved winter tyres didn't even import them to the UK. I would have had to import them myself from Europe.

So we have moved on with winter tyres. I suppose now that we have xDrive F30/31 models, All Season will become an available tyre.

Just a thought... do xDrive cars come with All Season as standard? If so, there should also be tyres available, certainly soon.

Perhaps we should ask our forum members with F30 xDrive what is fitted.
