guys what are your thoughts on this BridgeStone Deuler H/P RFT All Season:
http://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/35...T-RFT-(BMW)-XL It is also a confirmed tire on BMW USA... My intension is to find a rubber that i can replace with the Performance and not change every 6 months... also it seems there is a spoiler or something around the wheel that has been formed around the 20' rims...if you change the config to 19' you will see that the trim around the body of the car changes...so I would want the 20 rims with a all season tire...19' package may not look good on this car anymore... I've had All season RFT's both on my previous X3 and my current 3series...I can't complain...and I live in Canada! I'll bite the bullet if I have to and buy the 4 set...it is certainly much cheaper than the $4300 package of winter tire, then I have to change every 6 months...later I'll try to sell the summer tires (as they are new)... It seems I don't have a lot of options on the 20' all season...this one seems to be all season AND rft... thoughts? Last edited by Shaw; 02-09-2014 at 08:33 AM.. |

Also, for my dealer the winter t/wheel packages, the tire mounting on rim is sub-contract out. Dealer only installs and balance. Based on your analogy they come to dealer as used? Your dealer seems inflexible. If your dealer fails to work with you, and you do buy a new set, see if your tire guy will assist you in selling as consignment, as I recall another member doing just that.

Maybe it's different in Canada and US to what is sold in the UK? Either way seems like BMW lack constancy in their product line. I've asked BMW UK Customer Services what's what. Will update when they revert. |

While that makes sense, the dealer clearly said that they are all-season and last longer than the ones on 451 style. I checked the ordering guide and it mentions performance only with 451 not the 469M. (Attached the image) |

If I did not know about the 20's being perf/tires then I would not be too happy as I would have for sure got them. I debated it for a week decided against for the following. Love the 20's size only. Hate the 20's for RFT snows availability, storing extra set and swapping 2X/yr, and big extra cost. Also, if you get tire/wheel warranty they only cover star approved tires, so if your winters are Non/RFT or RFT but not star approved you are not covered. |

I was told by my dealer that mixed tires refers to the staggered formation and hence 2 different sizes or "mixed" tires. Not sure why the description is different for the 451. Either way, the word mixed doesn't convey anything about whether they are summer performance or otherwise so I asked and got the correct answer.

^^^ Correct ^^^
The reason I did not choose 20" is that both styles come with Summer Performance Tires. The 19"s come with either Goodyear Eagle LS-2 or Pirelli Scorpion All-Season Tires |

Correct, the 20's are all mixed, hence not squared. Icraete posted is what BMW issued. Problem is, they state 1) one wheel/tire says Mixed and 2) the other says performance. Easy for one to assume from 1) that it is A/S and 2) it is square. I think that there descriptions should be more explicit and accurate. One needs to keep both eyes open on BMW. |

I went with the DWS and have driven them through two snow storms, over plenty of ice and on slushly roads. Highly recommend. |

anyone has any thoughts on BMW / Bridgestone DUELER H/P SPORT RFT (BMW) XL All season:
http://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/35...T-RFT-(BMW)-XL I get this search for 2014 X6...the numbers are exactly as my performance tires on the F15 X5's : 275/40 R20 (front) & 315/35 R20 (rear) do these fit then? and are these a good RFT/all season? has any one experienced this? |
