Tires OEM BMW or OEM Subaru
Reviews
My 2017 Outback with winter tires is like on rail during snowy season. I have never driven a car this good on winter.
Pros: good on winter
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires
Pros: no warranty issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 48280 km
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
Cons: swap out stock tires
Vehicle:
BMW
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.
Pros: smoother ride, less noise
Cons: sidewall tears, bent wheel
Vehicle:
BMW
For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
Pros: better handling
Cons: winter traction
Vehicle:
Toyota
Just be warned I bought new and we don’t drive it wild or anything but both rear tires (non staggered 21”) were at 3mm tread after 10k miles and I had to replace them. Was shocking.
Cons: tires wear quickly
Vehicle:
BMW X7
Mileage: 10000 km
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
Cons: dead immobile
Vehicle:
BMW
The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
Cons: terrible grip, concrete feel
Vehicle:
BMW
