I prefer Michelin but I’m not complaining.

It's always been like this, every time I got an M car with Pirellis I immediately swapped for Michelin. Going from P Zero to PS4S made all the difference in my M8.

I don't even know what is on my G60 but it's not Michelin and they are fine.

I think I lost? Staggered 19"s.

But Im putting studded winters (Michelin X Ice North 4) on these rims as they will serve as the winter setup.

The 20" summer setup will be on PS4S's.

All of the best GT AS tires seem to have better overall ratings and in particular better winter/snow ratings.

I have 20” wheels and I am mounting Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 tires tomorrow. I’m keeping my Pirelli all seasons for non-winter driving (until they wear out). It will drop below freezing here by Tuesday of next week.

Our 530ix came with 19" and Continental non run flat.

I'm happy they are 19s as the roads here can be quite bad. It's my wifes car and she likes how they ride too.

It doesn’t get terribly cold in North Carolina, and I’ll keep Pirelli P-zeros on all year. I have noticed the cooler weather drop the tire pressure, especially the rear tires closer to the garage door.

So I have these tyres on 938 - 20's but it is also a Touring.

Interestingly and weirdly the Q means they are a quiet model and the MO means they are designed for a Mercedes according to Google. It is their version of star marked for BMW.

Wonder if these tyres are Touring specific? As we both have them in 2 different sizes.
