Yeah, the Orange Baby is just great. Loving it....although I haven’t managed to do much driving lately. Looking forward to some of the COVID restrictions being lifted. I’ve covered only 300 km from new, but the tyres are very good as far as I can tell, without doing any spirited driving. Certainly, the road holding of the car is excellent. And I haven’t noticed any appreciable noise in the cabin from the tyres. They are definitely quieter than the Bridgestone Potenza that I had on my F30. I’m running Michelin Pilot Sport - non-runflats.

Gotta be honest I'm a fairly sedate driver, so the tyres' ultimate grip and handling is not as important to me as ride comfort and wet weather performance. On the former, the ride is so much better than on my previous F30 (also on runflats). On the latter, will have to reserve judgement until we get some real rain. Obviously, the ride comfort is also governed by the improved suspension (M Sport adaptive). So.. happy with the Pirellis so will stick with these. Much prefer convenience of being able to keep driving after a puncture rather than having to bother with goo kits and/ or changing a tyre! |

Actually, I have the non-runflat variety on my diesel Golf (dogs beach car) and they work just fine for what I need from them. Are you serious about wanting a tyre sent to you by express post? I could make enquiries on Monday.

Hi Bmwphile Yes those were my thoughts exactly, bit of a hassle finding the jack, jack point spare tyre , jacking it up Just ride to the nearest tyre shop and hope they have your tyre in stock. I suppose we could always buy an extra to store in the garage just in case. But then we would need to buy an extra mag wheel as well and these seem to be quite expensive. Thanks for the feedback on the Pirellis good to know. |

Yes he should be hung and quartered, wasted so much of my time going to multiple shops to shop for toilet paper for the parents and the family. Don't shave your dogs...hhahah Wow 300kms already that's great so nearly broken in. Yup Michelins the gold standard , I think they put those standard on M2, so they must be very good Thanks for the feedback |

We managed to buy our first pack of toilet rolls in 8 weeks! The dogs collectively breathed a sigh of relief...
