Tires OEM BMW or GENERAL TIRE

Michelin X-Ice. Haven't found anything better. No amount of Canadian snow or ice has been able to stop my SUV and when those are on, and I live in a hilly area.\n\nI have General Artimaax on my other car, they are ok, but road noise is insane. Won't buy those again.

It matters, but not enough for you to worry too much about it. When I did my first replacement on my m2 comp, I made sure they replaced them with the * spec and sure enough, they felt great.

But on my second time getting new tires, I just went aftermarket, spent less money and got a tire that fits my needs a little better.

Been using General Altimax Arctics and love them vs non-studded tires.

I have General Altimax Artics. Because they are seasonal they last a long time.

Perhaps I’m just spoiled, as the roads here in the Netherlands are top notch.

The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.

I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth from extended warranties and tire/wheel across five different cars. I think they are well worth it

Well. Considering I’ve had two tires and one rim replaced in 8 months with no charge… I’m calling the wheel and tire plan a win.

I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.

I’ve got the generals and they are absolute shit in the snow up here in the north. Swapping them out this week. For the 6 months I had them without snow they felt great for a highway tire
