Replacement Tires for 528xi

What's up !

It's time for some new tires. I was hoping to find out what you all might consider to be good replacement tires for 2013 528xi, because NYC roads are no joke!

I only had the car for over a year and I already had to go back twice to fix tire issues on two different wheels. I have been told getting replacements straight from bmw cost about $400 a tire.. I need a cheaper alternative.

Currently, I have all weather run flats. I use my car mainly for commuting to work so not really looking towards really high end tires.

what would you guys suggest?

Thanks!

Michelin

If you can get them try to find the Premier A/S from Michelin. I was privileged enough to get invited to the AAA Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA and try them out. Their strong point is they are as safe half worn as new. We drove the Cadillac ATS with new tires from different manufacturers and the Premier that had been shaved down to 50 percent.

I am far and away anything from a race car driver, although I was in the company of some. I thought the tire was excellent in the wet testing as well as the dry. I saw for myself that they can stop anywhere from ten to fifteen feet shorter than the other tires we drove on in a straight line braking test. They also handled the course we had setup for us like a dream.

I'm confident enough that I would put them on my own car if they ever make them in my size and I definitely will make sure my parents get them on their vehicle come time.

Look on the Tire Rack website. It's very easy to use and the people are extremely knowledgeable.

I had the Contis on my 2007 525xi and they were terrific, rain, snow or shine.
