Picking up a new 2.0d M Sport with the 20" wheels. I know they come with RFTs. Just wondered what make of tyre they are likely to be? Thanks.

My 2019 2.0d Msport with 20" has Pirelli Pzero's

I've P-Zeros on my 3.0D X3, and after 24,000 miles they still have 4mm of tread left. Expecting to replace them in the autumn tho.

What's your impression of the ride with them? Are you on 20s and with Adaptive? Cheers

i have a 21 model x3 30d with 20" wheels, it has Pirelli but they are not run flats, did you ask for them ?

that surprises me, in a good way, mine when new only had 7.5mm (i thought all new tyres came with 8). Now i have 2500 miles. i see people change the rears first and often much sooner than yours will need. Are you taking advantage of the 30d's performance ? or do you drive very steadily ?

I'm on Adaptive (M40i) with Pirelli P Zero RFT, 20 inch wheels. In my opinion the ride is too harsh and tyres are rather noisy on a freeway. Lasted 24k miles, about to replace with Michelins.

Some of us are just too sensitive to RFT characteristics - I know I am. I drove an adaptive M40i with 21-inch RFTs and I immediately experienced the characteristic harshness I'd had on previous BMWs. When the chance came to order my M40i with 20s / non-RFT I jumped at it. It's rare that I get any tyre noise - I'd say the tyres (P Zero) are quiet. Ride is good and in Sport there's no discomfort for passengers - the quick "rise time or thump" over bumps that you get with RFTs isn't there.

I had 20s with P0 - I like. Having said that I have had no contrast since the previous came with the same :-)

Currently STILL running my bridgestone winters on 19s, must change them soon :-|. I know it's not a good comparison but I do find the winter bridgestones somewhat 'unable to stick to the road' when nailing it round corners. Loving how traction control and rear diff has helped me out a few times ;-)
