Tires OEM BMW or Shinko

Shinko Tires

I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.

Pros: liked them fine

I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.

Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad

I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.

Pros: confidence inspiring

Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.

Pros: high mileage, impressed
Cons: overloaded
Mileage: 16000 km

Get the shinko 777, they’re great. Stickiest compound tire I run and I have no issues in the rain. Great for wheelies too

Pros: stickiest compound, great wheelies
Cons: none

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.

Pros: handles easily, feels rear driven
Cons: consumables, worse mileage

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.

Pros: dealer dealt with it
Cons: tire was not cheap

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

Cons: wear faster

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.

Cons: tires wear quickly

As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.

Pros: wider tire selection
Cons: sidewall damage, heavier
