Tires OEM BMW or Cooper
Cooper is a WAY better tire than most. I've run 70k miles on two separate sets of Discoverer tires. I put Cooper on ALL my vehicles, on purpose. Having experience with Goodyear (mostly crap), Michelin (quality, but expensive), BFG (overrated and expensive), Kelly (utter trash) and others, Cooper has always been more reliably good, at a superior price point. Their value is stellar.
I used cooper weathermaster st on my wife’s dodge grand caravan. The lasted for 6 seasons. I put some winter evolution on my son’s Honda element this year. No issues with them.
I autocrossed for a season on Cooper RS3's and they were great. Not the best performance tire but I got a good deal on them and had no issues.
I used Cooper tires on a 2006 GMC Envoy once. They served me well. I wouldn't call them a "premium" tire, but I _would_ call them a _good_ tire.
After getting them on, I was pleasantly surprised. They weren't that cheap, but a lot less than Michelines. They are quiet and have a very good ride at highway speeds.
I've been running Coopers for almost 30 years, currently have them on my Silverado and getting ready to put another set on my Tahoe.
I can usually get 50k out of a set.
The ride is nice.
The price is right.
Great tire, have them on my Jeep Cherokee and my wife's Town and Country. Both cars came from the factory with Firestones, totally junk tires. I just replaced my wife's last week with the new Cooper Pro Control.
Ran 3 different sets of Cooper AT3s on my pickups and I like them. Good bang for your buck tire IMO
I've had a great experience with Coopers in the past, but my last set of ATs only lasted 10K miles before they needed to be replaced.
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.
