Tires OEM BMW or IRONMAN

I got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend

For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.

I’ve seen a lot of people in WA run Ironmans. Decent grip and decent thread wear. Solid tire for the money.

HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.

Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.

+1 used those on my e90 BMW last year during the 'record' snowfall and the were great.

Another vote for Ironmans. Used to run them on my foxbody until I wanted more grip

I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer

It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile

The run flat tires are terrible. They feel like they are made of concrete and the grip is very lacking.
