Bottom line, it's your ride and if you feel that going with another tire is a good choice and that the BMW engineers were wrong that is your choice. I can't prove to you one way or another that the stock setup is better or worse, simply stated I would stick with what the car left the factory with.

I dont think I said the tires were not good, but usually they(most) manuf. dont put the best tires on the vehicles.
if the tires specs are almost the same except that one tire has a 420 vs. a 220, then I would have to say that the tire that will last the longest would be better.
I dont know if or which tire is better, that is what I am doing asking the question here. I want to know what people have tried.
I appreciate your answer, but just stating that I should go with whatever BMW put on there, doesn't jsutify your recommendation.
I would like to know Why? Not jsut cause BMW picked them.
Does this make any sense? but agian thanks for any comments, I wasn"t trying to be a D**k!
