Best Tires to Replace the RF

pookguy · 06-16-2017, 10:14 PM

I'm going to give the DWS06 a try. $900 for a set vs $1700 for OEM P Zero RF's, no thanks.

So what is the best practice if I want to replace my tires with non-runflat tires?
Carry around slime, a jack and an air pump?
Haul around a spare when I go out of town?

Continental Extreme Contact OR Michelin Primacy MXM4

I use Continental Pure Contact. Very happy with them, low noise, good wear and traction. Snow traction is adequate for an all-season tire.

I got a cheap used BMW rim (same exact as one I have) off eBay and got a spare tire. It eats into trunk area, but it is much safer to travel long distance.
Rim has tire pressure monitor - it is a very good safety feature. BMW is very good about re- registering a new TPM sensor once tire is swapped.

I am looking at Vredestein Quatrac Pro - Great reviews
