M235 xdrive with michelin pilot super sport tires stock

TheFranchise · 03-17-2015, 06:41 PM

Can I get an M235xi with Michelin pilot super sport tires stock.

It seems that all xdrive models come with run flat tires stock, but obv. run flat tires suck and I don't want my speed limited at 130mph.

I have to have xdrive, as I live in the northeast and I have to be able to get to work when it snows.

I've been researching this car for 2 months and I put a deposit down on the car I want... but this is about the only answer I couldn't find on the internet.

Help.

This is the option you want under the Xi
18" double-spoke 436M wheels w/ mixed summer tires

There are no tires available as original equipment which meet your need to assuredly get to work when it snows regardless if XDrive or not. Get what you want for three seasons and then get a set of Michelin XIce xi3 or Blizzak WS80 for the highest likelihood of winter time success.

have to change the option when ordering. x-drive version defaults to all-season run-flats.

Yes, I just bought a M235i xDrive last weekend with the 21L option: 18" double-spoke ferric grey 461M wheel w/Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires

I am in Canada if that makes a difference. There was no extra charge.

As SportStick notes, I'll be needing a nice winter tire package if I am going to go anywhere once the snow falls...

I ordered my x-drive M235 with MPSS, I had to specify it in the order("summer performance tires.")

I have a second set of staggered wheels to put winter tires in the late fall.

After doing the math, I realized you'd end up spending the same amount of money in either scenario I was debating.

Disregard my comment

We took delivery last fall of a M235xi Performance Edition which was a limited build special edition. It came with 19 rims and Pirelli Pzero run flats. I am a huge fan of the PSS tire and have used them on several different cars. I was told and I confirmed last fall that the PSS tire was not available in the 19" staggered pattern the car was delivered with. My hope is that the PSS will be available by the time the Pzeros are cooked which in my experience with Pirelli tires won't be long!

I ordered the the X with all season tires. The all wheel drive is useless with summer tires in the northeast. The dealer told me it was a no charge option in the northeast.
