Maybe that's why the standard wheels are now 18".
That’s a shame for such a nice car. I’ve had two G22 M440is now, the first had Bridgestone Turanzas on it. Typical Bridgestones, not the best as others have experienced, but no balance or realignment issues and certainly robust enough sidewalls to shrug off all but the deepest potholes.

The second, my current car, has Pirelli P Zeros on it and so far after 15k miles no problems and I’ve clouted a few potholes unfortunately.

Maybe switch the tyres out for P Zeros before making any hard and fast decision to ditch the car?
