U sure? I thought the sport pkg got you the RFs. Not sure about the xi but I know it does for the RWD.

The lower 5ers in sport guise come with 18" RF tires. This goes for the RWD version also.

Awaiting delivery of 528xi with sport pkg. Dont't think it has RF tires unless you order 18 inch wheels. Dealer said BMW did this so you can get sport pkg with higher profile tires with awd. low profile tires don't make sense with awd

On the 535, the sport package includes the 18" wheels.

So then the answer to the posted question (topic) should be RF tires w/Sport pkg, Normal tires without it - agree?
Pretty much every BMW with the exception of the 550i as mentioned above, the M3, and the M6 come with RF tires. And this is regardless of SP or non SP.

And is there a spare tire of some sort?
Got my 2008 535xi with the sport package and standard 17" wheels. The tires are Goodyear RSA runflats. The sport package on the xi does not change the tires. I did not order the optional staggered 18" wheels.
