Can someone confirm the brand of tires on the 19" msport all seasons?


Trying to debate to get tire insurance or not if they are the same eagle LS2 as my 5 series I'm going to take it because those tires suck!!!!

On the 2015 35i Msport the tires are Goodyear Eagle LS.
I seem to be going to get air in them every week. They wear is decent but I've been rotating every 5k.
Decided to burn these and then change to something else when these need replacing.

What kind of problems have you had in the past?

My 5 series had the Eagle LS-2 and for starters no one had them they were on national back order. Seemed as if only BMW dealers had them. The tires got bubbles very easily and eventually popped or ruptured. I went through the 4 tires that came on the car plus another 8 for a 36 month lease.


Seen below just one of the many times the run flats didn't hold air and wasn't drivable

Thanks for the info. I haven't been impressed with them! I hope you love your X4 and if you find some good tires please share!

If you are leasing, immediately put the Eagles in the garage or somewhere safe and replace with the new COnti's DW06 All Seasons, they are Amazing for the X4. Then 6 months prior to the lease end or less, put the eagles back on. I do it all the time with my leases, about to do it for a 3rd time for my new baby.

The new Conti's I mentioned, nope. They are good old regular excellent tires, no need for runflat with Bmw tow trucks.

I see you live in Queens, if you're interested PM me and you can store the tires in my backyard for a very small fee
