vs
Tires OEM BMW or MRF
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
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
We had a similar situation with kia ev. The left front tyre at night got punctured (sharp cut, we suspect it was due to impact of the pothole) due to a massive pothole in National highway that was invisible at night. The tyre went flat in 5 seconds.

Kia

I'll steer clear of mrf. You have much better options out there. Their wet grip is horrible
Pros: better options out there
Cons: wet grip is horrible
