vs
Tires OEM BMW or Maxxis
It matters, but not enough for you to worry too much about it. When I did my first replacement on my m2 comp, I made sure they replaced them with the * spec and sure enough, they felt great.
But on my second time getting new tires, I just went aftermarket, spent less money and got a tire that fits my needs a little better.
Pros: felt great
Vehicle:
BMW M2
Perhaps I’m just spoiled, as the roads here in the Netherlands are top notch.
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Maxxis Maxxlite 29x2.0
Good tire if you have a lot of paved transitions between gravel sections. 375 grams per tire.
Pros: good tire
I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth from extended warranties and tire/wheel across five different cars. I think they are well worth it
Pros: well worth it
Vehicle:
BMW
Well. Considering I’ve had two tires and one rim replaced in 8 months with no charge… I’m calling the wheel and tire plan a win.
Pros: wheel and tire plan win
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Cons: fear every root encounter
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
Vehicle:
BMW
Gravel tires don\u2019t have great puncture resistance generally, short of something like a 40mm Maxxis refuse. You really want to set these up tubeless. I would constantly get slow flats from flint or road debris when I ran WTBs with tubes.
Cons: slow flats from debris
This is one of the reasons I stopped buying Maxxis tires. Really, all tires will do it to a certain degree but Maxxis seem to be the worse IMO.
Cons: Maxxis seem worse
I would highly recommend passing up maxxis tires. Those things are so danged slow. Vittoria Mexcals or Teravail oxbows are what I’d look for.
Pros: Vittoria Mexcals recommended
Cons: maxxis tires slow
