BLUE LABEL · 06-16-2009, 11:57 AM

Hey guys,
I just noticed two bubbles on my front two RFT and i tihnk its time to get rid of these RFt's and get myself some non-RFT. Being in chicago i was opting for a set of all seasons to put on. I need some advice on what good all season tires are out there that others have put on their vehicles. I have a 07 e92 335i. I was going for non-RFT's and im fairly sure i can recycle my stock rims. I have about 25k on my ride and these stock tires are almost to the end of their life. THe size for the fronts, is 225/40/18 and rears 255/35/18..correct me if im wrong.
Id greatly appreciate any advice you guys can throw my way!

The top two in our experience and that forum guy have had good experiences with for all season tires in those sizes are the Yokohama Advan S4, and Michelin Sport A/S +.

For a sport package car, that is indeed accurate.

Gary, searched your website and I dont think I found what I am looking for. I see occasional snow. I was looking for all season tires to fit my 09 335 coupe sport package and leave them on year round. I could not find any that were run flats. I dont particularly like or dislike them ( only got 1000 miles on), but I bought the tire and wheel insurance, and my CA said:

"the tire & wheel coverage will cover you for 5 years and will cover all tires as long as they meet factory specs. If you replace tires and you still have time remaining it will cover those also."

So I figure that means I need to have runflats on them (stiffer side wall prevents damage?) to be covered for the tires and wheels. Do they make all season runflats? Ever heard of someone getting denied coverage w/ "non factory spec" tires? I pressed him on what factory spec meant and he just reiterated "needs to meet factory specifications for this car" (duh.) Anyone?
