Tires OEM BMW or Giti
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

BMW
I am currently running a set of Giti Dexteros on a 1997 Olds Regency. I have about 15000 miles on them and rotate every 5k. They ride great and tire wear is normal at this point. I would recommend them!
Pros: ride great, normal wear
Mileage: 15000 km
Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.
Pros: affordable, loving them
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
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
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
Cons: swap out stock tires

BMW, to achieve superior handling, uses an aggressive negative camber for the rear wheels. So the inner of the rear tires will wear out faster by design. It is not an alignment issue.
Pros: superior handling
Cons: tires wear out faster

And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.
Pros: dealer dealt with it
Cons: tire was not cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 48000 km
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
Whatever you do, don’t get the Giti comfort tires that came on the Passat. They’re dog water at everything, treadwear, wet or try traction, road noise.
Cons: dog water at everything
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
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
