I am so glad BMW listened to enthusiasts and stiffened up the base version of the G20 even though the majority of their "new" customer base prob prefers the F30 setup or softer.

At first i was a bit peeved that BMW didn't put a high performance all season tire and opted for a grand touring a/s-that too in fairly skinny 225/45/18 set up but the P7's have really grown on me. Much better than the continental runflats that came on my F30. Super quiet and smooth and actually have tons of grip. Hold the road really well and have sharp steering. I wonder how much better this car would feel on Michelin pilots??

How much tread life did the P7's have left at 38k? I am trying to figure it out if i can squeak through my lease (45k miles) without changing tires.
@38,000 miles there was still tread left. My driving is mostly highway and I'm not a "racer" LOL
