Tires OEM BMW or SUNNY
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.
Eu am cauciucuri sunny, un set de vara și un set de iarna! Am fost multumit de cele de iarna si automat nu am mai cumparat de vara decat de la marca asta chinezească!Sunt mulțumit!
For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
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.
We have a set of Sunny tires on our 98 Cavalier 4dr auto. (Used as summer only). Also a dedicated set of Cooper winter tires. As a summer only tire they have been fine for the last ~60,000km+ and the only reason for buying them is they were cheap, the car is old and getting pretty high in mileage. Wasn't sure how long it would last to be honest. It has surprised me and I figure the next set I buy will be a brand name all season for the summer only to have the car inevitably crap out shortly after.
The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
Sunny's came on the Pegasus' the Volvo was sold with. I knew they were bad but that wet stopping is Suffice to say I am quite relieved the Polaris' I replaced them with came with Nitto NT555's installed.
A few years back I looked at a CPO 2009 GTI - had Sunny tires on it. Besides the rest of the car being beat to snot and smelling terrible, the tires were horrible. I didn't look at what was on the car until after the test drive. I couldn't believe it was a CPO.
