I’m considering this as well. I’ve got a 2023 M340 and I burned through my all season tires in 16,000 miles. Just regular driving nothing crazy aggressive. Because my tires were bald in the middle of winter, I had to buy new tires and ended up going with run flat winter tires.
I have the wheel and tire insurance so I have to buy my tires through BMW. I don’t want to burn through a set of summer run flat tires quickly. So I’m considering buying a set of normal performance tires. I do have roadside assistance and a pump in my car however, I spend a lot of time in Detroit and I don’t really want to blow a tire there and be on the side of the road if possible. I’ve had a flat once so far and it was nice being able to drive to the dealership instead of being stranded.
That said I don’t want put $1500 bucks every other year by run flat tires and I’m considering normal performance tires if they last longer?
I seem to remember someone on this forum recommending a doughnut that fits this car and can be thrown in the back of the trunk. Has anybody tried an option like this?
Thanks!
