Tires OEM BMW or IRONMAN

Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.

Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.

Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.

Ironman is a great budget tire

While you’re learning get Ironmans lol it’s like $70-80 per tire brand new and will hold up way longer than $30-40 used tires

Ironman all country M/T are actually really solid!

And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.

OEM tires wear a little faster than I'd like. I'm looking at having to get some new ones soon.

Im 6000 miles in on my i4 m50 and the tires are about to be replaced. Its a super powerful and super heavy car and it will eat up tires like nothing.

Just had this happen (don’t buy Ironman tires) it eventually popped on the way home from a long day of work. Wish I hadn’t waited to address it sooner
