FInally received my Style 128 wheels.

19" x 8" FRONT
19" x 9.5" REAR

Can anyone suggest the best "non-runflat" tires and experiences with them?

By the way, this is officially the first of the many things I intend to do to my new baby which is currently in the paint shop. The only reason I am ordering them now is to keep me patiently waiting and sane... Hope to hear from you guys! Thanks so much!

I'd personally get the Toyo T1-R tires. I had T1-S on my last car and these are the T1-R is the replacement.

So have I. Only 1000 miles on the car, but they feel perfect so far.

Michelin Pilot Sports. Either the 2's or the A/S's. Can't go wrong either way. A little more tread life from the A/S's.
Good luck.

A/S i guess as in All Season vs. Summer performance, right? I guess it makes sense to go with the A/s being my car is going to be the xi model.. Do you guys know if they are any more/less susceptible to bubbles?

My Bridgestones are great (see signature). The PS2s are perpetually out of stock everywhere.

I think im going to order the PS A/S... is the ride generally rougher on all seasons versus non all season? this is my first awd car so im still unsure about the ride quality and how every change will affect it.

Hi NES!

Congratulations on your new BMW OEM 128 rims! I have Toyo Proxies 4 on my e60 530i and I am very satisfied with them, 3000 miles and wearing great, with no road noise, and excellant handling on both dry and wet payments. (I paid $750.00, installed with road hazard warranty from Kaufman Tire, with Lifetime Balancing and rotation, ((that came with it as a promo package at no extra charge)), the only thing was I had them installed and balanced for $200.00 at my BMW dealership)

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
R. Presley
