Has anyone seen the new pilot sport all season 4 in msport/M340 staggered 19 stock sizes? I figured this would be a no brainer as bmw carried over the tire size from the F3X models but I can't seem to find them.
Hopefully an oversight Michelin corrects soon? |

It does not appear to come in the M340 staggered factory sizes.
https://www.michelinman.com/tires/hi...-season-4.html I am looking to replace the summer runflats on my M440i when it arrives next week with an all season performance non-runflats. At this point I'm leaning toward the Goodyear Exhilarate which is a fairly new tire and has some good ratings, but I posted a request for info about them on here have not received much help. |

On the other hand, the A/S 3+ does come in 225/40 and 255/35 for staggered setups, although some suppliers (Tire Rack) don't seem to carry the larger rear tire. |

Looks like more AS4 sizes will be released in July 2021. I imagine our sizes will be included then

My guess is this was an accidental oversight. there seems to be lots of remaining stock of 225/40/19 A/S 3+ (still available basically everywhere) which is the front/square setup size. So it makes sense to delay the A/S 4 in that size. But the rear 255 is out of stock (and now offered in a/s 4). somewhere in the changeover planning it was missed (or decided it wasn't a priority) that staggered bmw owners for both the f3X and G2x gen were being left out. When I reached out to Michelin they basically said try to find A/S 3+ |

With temps dropping in the Midwest and light snow always a possibility, after researching the options, I decided on the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 and ordered them this morning for my M440iX. I guess I’ll be the G22 tester for them

Interesting review of the Michelin A/S 4
For those of us that live in areas of the USA that get cold and sometimes snowy and don't wish to have two sets of wheels and tires, this sounds like a decent alternative once it becomes available in our needed size(s). Last edited by ultrared93; 11-18-2020 at 04:43 PM.. Reason: completeness |

For anyone here who knows the Michelin A/S 4 well... I am in Greenville, SC. Maybe a couple of snows a year, rarely more than 2-3 inches, and they don't stick around for long. It almost never hits single digit (Farenheit) temps here. There is some black ice around at times but even the best winter tire would struggle on that. Gets in the 90's regularly in the summer. When my 2021 M340i comes to me in the beginning of March next year, I was thinking of getting Michelin Pilot 4S for the summer and Michelin A/S 4 for the winters here once they come around to fit the square OEM 18" wheels which I think are 225's(!)... unless you guys think the A/S 4 would perform admirably throughout the year in this kind of climate with little performance/comfort difference from the summer tires for a very spirited daily driver.

Debating between the 3 below: 1. 245/35ZR AS3+ (non run flats) 2. 245/35ZR ZP AS4 (245 in AS4 is a run flat) 3. 235/35ZR AS4 (non run flats) Any experience or suggestions out there? Would a wider 245 AS3 be better than the 235 AS4? Or should one consider the 245 AS4 run flat instead? Hard one for me to decide. |

I have the Pirelli P7 Citurato - horrible tire. It's a 93 load index. AS3+ is the only tire with a 93. Just so I learn, what's your perspective behind the load index to factory. Thanks! |

So I just got a set of A/S 3+ for a good price since my OEM RFTs were at 5/32 and I thought I'd store them till the car was due to be returned. Problem is that I don't have a spare tyre or tools. No mobility kit either. What should I do? Get an air compressor? Or suck it up and buy a spare donut and tools and loose trunk space?
