^ Yep. When the $475 pilot sport is the floor you know you're in trouble.

Welcome to the club.

Obviously the decision is yours.
Tire wise I would suggest none run flats.
I recently got Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta for about 275 a peace.

^ Thanks Gregg. I've never cared for runflats and will be avoiding them. Also not crazy about the tread pattern on that tire but, regardless, they don't seem to be available in the correct size.

Got Ya!

Choose the tire that meets your spec.
The only two things that I can add from my personal experiance:
- there is a new version of the Vred's available (maybe something you like.
- toyos compare to vreds were unstable on wet surface

Good luck to you.

Unfortunately you have no other choice if third row seat is an option in your vehicle. Just replaced all 4 tires and they perform well without the noise some people complain. It is what it is...

I'm kind of looking to do this as well. My tires have not a ton of life left in them so I'm thinking when it's replacement time, I'll get the staggered 20s. They look SO much better. I'm not sure if I'll do the trim pieces, but something tells me it may look weird if I don't.

FWIW, "All Factory Wheels" has good prices on reconditioned stock wheels (at least they say they are BMW stock) and you can get the matching size tires on Discount Tire Direct for a decent price. Personally since I'm in Texas, I'd opt for the Falken Azenis, a set of the 20s is less than $900

I have third row and will not be getting runflats. Saying 'it is what it is' is admitting it's not good. I've had one flat tire in the past 15 years and it's been in a parking lot. TPMS helps. I'll take my chances with roadside service as a backup.

I am sure there are other tires out there that have the same load capacity as the runflats.

In what way did is this car you found "perfect"?

Options and features on the car? Age, mileage, warranty?
