Tires OEM BMW or Nokia

Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.

Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.

Cons: no spare tyre.

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.

I had nokian wrg4s on my subaru before selling the car my gf has michelin crossclimate2s on hers, both are excellent.

I’m a fan of Nokian WRG4s

We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!

I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.

Best tires I've used in order are:

Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)

Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.

Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.

Russian made nokians are bad for dry rot, luckily they dont make em there anymore
