Hi guys,

I have a '11 MY X3 35i with the M-Sport package which has the 245/45-19 tires front/rear. I've found a great replacement tire (RE960AS RFT) but it's backordered from Bridgestone. I think they're going to discontinue it seeing as how the RE970AS has already been out for some time. Unfortunately, there are no other high performance all-season run flat tires in this size. I've been reading up on other wheel sizes or possibly putting on 255's on the existing wheels but at that size there's not even one RFT available. For those that have replaced tires and/or wheels, what size did you go with?

I also want to perform any updates that are available for my car. Is the iDrive system upgradable at all or is the only thing that I can update the navigation system maps?

Thanks in advance!
