Am 320i lci rwd, si nu am nevoie de xdrive. Daca ai anvelope de calitate poti sa mergi si la munte.
Rwd are costuri reduse de intretinere fata de xdrive, mai usor, mai eficient.
Pros: anvelope de calitate

Deadass I been running some Walmart Achilles Sports for 2 years with 0 problems.
Pros: zero problems
Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles
Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t
The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine
I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.
Pros: great bang for buck
Cons: not good in snow
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.
Pros: handles easily, feels rear driven
Cons: consumables, worse mileage
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 9656 km
OEM tires wear a little faster than I'd like. I'm looking at having to get some new ones soon.
Cons: wear faster
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 32186 km
Recently bought a used Subaru Crosstrek for my daughter, and CarMax clearly had put new tires on them — specifically, Achilles SportTouring A/S.
I know nothing about this brand or model, so I can’t say what their wet or snow performance might be (or any other parameters, for that matter).

Im 6000 miles in on my i4 m50 and the tires are about to be replaced. Its a super powerful and super heavy car and it will eat up tires like nothing.
Cons: tires wear quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 9656 km
As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
Pros: wider tire selection
Cons: sidewall damage, heavier
Vehicle:
BMW
