Tires OEM BMW or YOKOHAMA
Yokohama Geolander AT or Extreme AT . Awesome tires in all weather conditions. They are good tires though.
Got a set of 4 of them for my 2010 4x4 5.7L and they are fantastic in the extreme winter and rain in the Northeast.
Yokohama Geolanders for tires. Drove another ~50 miles on packed snow roads once I hit the NMW and had zero issues with traction or sliding around.
The Yoke Advan Apex 601 was a damn good tire for the price. I moved to supercar 3's and it was only slightly faster.
Just replaced a set of Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my Mazda3.....after 81k miles. They still had a little wear left. Treadware warranty was 65k. No recent alignment but regular rotations. Never had a flat either, on crappy New England roads.
I have been driving the Yokohama Geolander M/Ts for 6 years & love them. First set lasted 5 years, and am on my second set. I live in Eastern WA at a 2000+ elevation and often get serious snow & ice on the roads, hills & in the mountains. I did a lot of research before buying them, and they have been great. About to buy some for my son's car, too.
Really enjoy Continental and Yoko. My last set of Continentals lasted 85k miles and I'd bet I could have gone another 15k if my car didn't need an alignment as all the tires had a ton of tread left on the inside and were to the wear bar on the outside.
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.
I’ve used both Yoko Geolanders and Nokian Outpost APT on my 2020 & 2022 OBXT and Nokians are better in rain & snow, and less weight.
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
