Tires Pirelli or OEM BMW
I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.
Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires
Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.
Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.
I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.
I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.
Theoretically, the Michelin will last longer and you can use tread ware warranty. My Pirelli lasted 26,000 si hoping to get more out of the Michelin.
I have a 22 and the pirellis were awesome at first but definitely did not last. There’s a reason they have no manufacturer warranty. They are performance tires. Rubber is soft and wears faster.
My 21 R-Line came stock with Pirelli Scorpions. I hated them. Two back tires blew out. They road rough and felt every bump. Atlas suspension is rough enough.
Just paid $540 for one 21” Pirelli tire from “Discount” Tire ????
