... which is why I don't get all this argument for why summer tires are the only way to go on a "truck" like this. You can say BMW R&D spent all this time and effort to make the most optimally performing car, but then they gave it "inferior" RFTs for our convenience. Shouldn't they have gone summer non-RFT for the 20" wheel upgrade package if that was their intention?
