I'm interested in the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S SUV tyre — I've not seen any reviews, yet, though. Love them as a sports car tyre

There was a positive feedback for 19“ Michelin Pilot Sport in another forum.

Bridgestone has a selection of replacement RFT tires for a BMW X1. Here's the link: https://www.bridgestonetire.com/vehicles/bmw/X1

I’m on stock tires 225/50/18. How wide can you go without having clearance issues in the wheel well, and will the wider tires adversely effect the AWD system? Also, would the bigger tires void my warranty?? Just purchased the car last week. 2020 x1 xDrive. Tks.

The tyre size is a question often asked in the UK. I do not know about over your side of the pond, but BMW UK have advised me that in the event of a transmission problem and it is proved that the tyres caused the problem then, the warranty on the transmission components could be void.
How they could prove that the tyres could cause the problem is beyond me! How could they establish it? If you were to have a problem, I cannot see them (BMW) telling the tyre manufacturer(s) it is their fault and them admitting it! Can you?

I agree with Peter_R above — provided (a) change all 4 tyres at the same time and (b) you fit the same sizes front and rear (square fitting NOT staggered, as you often see on other BMW SUVs)

I have to agree. Every BMW I have owned for the last 15 years, I have changed over to NON Run Flats. In some cases, I have added a space saver to the boot (yes it takes up room). In other cases I have carried a puncture repair kit.
With the latest UK spec 2020 LCI X1 M Sport (now in build and due in a matter of weeks) I have ordered NON Run Flats with space saver AND Adaptive Suspension. This combination should give me all the ride options I require.

It should
Even better if you use 18" wheels

Mine didn't. I specifically ordered non-runflats, along with a space-saver wheel and jack, back in 2016 when I placed my order.

Yes. Ordered 18" wheels. The 18" are standard on UK 2020 X1 LCI xDrive 2.0i M Sport.

Conti DWS06's were a nice upgrade from the Pirelli RFT's. Haven't tried them in colder weather yet though, but have been great all summer.

I am using the "Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+", wait for a good deal at Costco and then get Discount Tire to beat it. Love the tires, less road noise and no longer dealing with the runflats which are so expensive to repair.

How's the ride with those? I'm looking at replacing 225/45/19 Conti RFT for your size (245/40/19) non-RFT? According to tire calculations, it's 20mm wider, but 3mm shorter so I'm a bit concerned with a shorter sidewall.

The Michelin seems like a wonderful tire, but truth be told I'm an "un-spirited" highway and suburb driver and everything I read suggests the Conti leans toward comfort/quietness while the Michelin leans toward sporty performance. The Conti also seems to get more consistent praise for its winter performance and is cheaper at the moment. I plan to use the savings to cover the cost of adding a spare tire kit.

Looking forward to getting rid of these RFTs!
I have the Michelin's on my 330 Ci, great tires. Having said that I'm seriously looking at the Continental DWS06 for my X1.

I would like to see a little more longevity, knowing I will be giving up some summer performance. Then again my x1 isn't a sports car like the 330 Ci

Just installed the newly updated Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 plus.
Lobe them so far. Quieter than the Goodyear Eagle Sport run flats they replaced and very comfortable on poor roads

Well. I pulled the trigger and picked up a set of new shoes yesterday. I already had the spare, jack and tools so it was about time. A close friend who's a supervisor at a tire shop hooked me up with a set of 245/40 ZR19 Conti DWS06's. The added width looks much better and so is the ride. I really wanted the 255/45 ZR19's, but the wheels are only 8" wide and that size would need an 8.5" wheel. Time to sell the Conti RFT's.

Those the original DWS06's or the new 2021 plus version? Keep us posted on your experiences.
