255/35zr19 vs 255/35r19 michelin P4S tires

spwickson · 09-13-2021, 10:32 PM

I have seen a set of p4s tires that are a bit cheaper and the main difference I can see is the 255/35/ZR19 tires are made in US compared to the 255/35/R19 which are made in France.

Anyone used the ZR tires? Considering putting them on a 2017 F36 440i Grand Coupe.

…. So no one answered but I found a really good answer to the above question. The below is a link to the Tyre Reviews video about the main difference between the aftermarket (ZR) tire and OE/BMW* (R) tyre.

For reference there was a long lead time on the OE tires so I installed the Aftermarket tire and have had no issues. The Car feels much better as well, so worth it if you are considering swapping run flats for standard tires.

Thanks for this... considering switching to non-RF and this answered my exact question.
