Tires OEM BMW or BRIDGESTONE
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
My mother drives her Hyundai i20 on Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and is happy with them.
Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.
Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.
Cons: no spare tyre.
Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.
I use Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my 2018 Forester but I live in the east coast of Canada.
I'm running Bridgestone Potenza. I've gone through two sets of Micheline Pilot Sports within 25k miles. I'm hoping these Bridgestones last longer. In terms of performance I don't notice a difference between the two.
Our OEM Primacies are still great in snow after 25k miles.
Oh and this in on new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks - I swapped out the stock trash - poor ratings even in rain - immediately.
Once I got a chance to try them in the rain, I realized there was a problem compared to Michelin. I was fishtailing all over the place on a wet road. That’s never happened to me with Michelin.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
