If you are getting a staggered setup, then the tires will be summer tires, not all season. That is true no matter what brand the tire is. Pretty much all of these tires are new enough designs that they should perform well. The Bridgestone S001 might be better than the Perelli P7, but I have been unable to find a published comparison which states that.

So far, it looks like Pirelli is edging out Continental as the most common brand.

I would like to add though, like the other tires the Pirelli Centuratu P7 runflat comes in both AS and HP summer. Your poll doesn't ask for that distinction. It would be good to also know if the tires are all season, summer perf, or UPH perf, or whatever they are. Last edited by RPM90; 08-17-2012 at 09:51 PM.. |

I have a 335i Msport with 18's staggered/mixed with summer tires. I hope BMW actually puts real summer performance tires on the Msports and not the grand touring summer perf tires. But, I'll be changing them in October anyway to non RFT's. |

Here's the P7 high perf summer: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Speed+Rated%29 Not many reviews, but what there is isn't great, nor good. There is also a P7 AS with better reviews: This is a grand touring AS tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....eason+Run+Flat |

The S001 RFT is a Max perf summer tire, so it should handle great. Wear rating is not so good, to be expected though w/Max perf tires. I'm impressed that they put these on an xdrive. Great! |

But, Msport is new and TR not be showing all new available sizes. I would think, expect, that BMW would put the best summer perf tire on the Msports. But then, BMW does wacky things at times. I'll let you know what I get hopefully by next week or early the next. |

225/45/18 Continental CSC 5 SSR's on all four corners.
I've read and heard that the 5's wear quickly. Of course, depending on how liberal one applies one's right foot will influence this I'm sure |

Not that I was anxious or anything. As soon as I finshed what I was doing at work, I drove up to see the car. Totally dirty , unprepped (pics attached) but they did open it up and I sat there for awhile soaking in the new car smell. Did not get a good interior pic but the fine line anthactice trim is very nice.
I phone shots. Will psot real pics when they are done with my minor "mods" and make the car phot op worthy. They have a few things to do for me. Probably p/u Wednesday on my day off.[ATTACH][ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH] Last edited by emtrey; 08-18-2012 at 05:12 PM.. |

Can someone confirm that ALL 3ers bound for the US have RFTs? They're either the summer performance or the all-seasons, but RFTs nonetheless, correct?
