Tires OEM BMW or GT Radial
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
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.
Check out GT Radial or Giti.
They are mid ranged and so far ive been really impressed with them on mine. Good all rounders with grip and low rolling resistance.
For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
I bought them last year for my Nissan and they have been really good. Very grippy, low noise and smooth. The compound feels to be on the softer side but haven't seen excessive wear yet.
I found GT Radial Champiro SX2 was pretty decent for around the same price as Kendas with similar performance and similar but not as much longevity.
Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial
I just bought these tires so I can't directly comment on them, but they were in my budget and the specs were about the best in the price range.
It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile
