performance run-flat tires vs all-season run-flat tires

performance run-flat tires vs all-season run-flat tires

which one is best?

Looking at wheels option for MY18. 20" wheels only comes with performance RFT.

My current X5 has 19" all season. wanted to change the wheel design but for non-m sport, there is only one choice of wheel 451.

Never had M-sport. Should I go with M-sport? what's rationale to go with m-sport.

Go with M sport. Better looking style on the outside, better steering wheel, better transmission and suspension (if you get adaptive M suspension.

My opinion, you may disagree in which case don't get M sport. To each his own...

Go with the m sport...
There is a lot more wheel options also.

As for tires, it is going to depend on what type of driving you and your location.

where do you live? I'd say all season, IMO either way unless you are tearing up turns every mile. If it is the occasional off-ramp, all seasons will be fine.

Note that if you go with M sport and get one of the 20" wheel options, you're going to get performance run flat tires. Mine came with Pirelli's that will likely last around 14k miles. When those are worn out, I will be going with the DWS06 non-runflat so many members have commented about. I included the space saver spare on my order for this eventuality...
