vs
Tires OEM BMW or WEST LAKE
Westlake makes pretty affordable tires that should be within your budget. They perform decently well but dont last as long as a standard tire from my experience. I believe I got approximately 25k miles out of them
Pros: affordable tires, decent performance
Cons: dont last as long
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 40233 km
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.
