Pirellis for me also on my 20" staggered AS.

I would like this combination for mine too.
I chose this variant for the winter - 942M with 19" Pirellis:




With black/white emblems and red valve caps.

Took delivery of my M60 on 12/30. Michelin is my fav brand, but I saw just now I got Pirelli. Not complaining, but they historically wear out faster.

From what I have read elsewhere, tires on EVs tend to wear out much quicker due to the extreme weight of the vehicles. It will be interesting to see what EV owners report back in the next few years.

They are using EV specific tires on our vehicles. On my ICE car, I ran Michelin Pilot Sport which were good for 30k miles. I’m waiting for summer to see how well the PZEROs perform. I will probably just buy Michelin summer tires and switch back to the all seasons in Autumn. Our summers are about 3 months then it’s all rainy again.

I am not sure about this, I know that Pirelli makes an EV specific tire and it actually has "ELECT" written on it. I have Pirellis on my car but they do not have this symbol and that might lead me to believe they are "normal" tires. From their website:

The ELECT™ marking on the sidewall identifies Pirelli tires, specifically developed for high performance electric and plug-in vehicles, in line with the Perfect Fit strategy.

Two variants are also given here.

Fantastic tyres are Hankooks - I swapped the OEM Bridgestone S007’s on my G16 for the S1 Evo 3 and they’re superb. The difference in ride quality is night and day.

Do you happen to have the chart that covers 19" rims (933 rims) with 245x45x19?

Mine don’t say Elect and have a tread wear rating of 500. My Pilot Sports were 300, so with the weight of the vehicle, probably about the same and 30,000 miles.

My 540 m-sport with 19" wheels showed up with Bridgestone tires

[COBodom]

I won Michelin on BMW tire lottery. I am very happy with the ride quality.

Picked up m60 on Saturday... came with Hankook's

[Sequence001]

Found this nail in mine this weekend while washing it. It was about an inch deep. Pulled it out with pliers. No leak. So right now Pirelli is my favorite 😁 lol

Mine came with Michelin

Lucky you.

I have Pirellis on it. I now also have it on the G01.

[SkykingUSA]

Took delivery last Thursday and my M Sport eDrive40 19" wheels came with Bridgestone Turanza tires as shown below (front and back).

[PsychDoc]

Mine came with Continental Procontact gx tires. What a difference coming from Pirelli RFT's. I would have been happy with these or Michelin, Pirelli or Bridgestone. Goodyear's would not have made me happy.

No ELECT marking on my M60’s Pirellis either. The only special marking on these PZeros, which I figure is EV specific, is “extra load.” Either way, I don’t think these tires have the noise reducing foam on the inside which is usually what the ELECT is calling out.
