OMG - night and day. heaven vs hell. I LOVE these new NRF tires!
Ride, handling, noise, braking - all are much much better.
Actually now like the BMW I thought I bought for handling and road feel.
That much difference? Yes! I love my car so much more now..........


It is indeed sad that BMW marketing BS presides over common sense engineering.
Even if BMW gave buyers a CHOICE between NRF/spare kit vs RF.........
Instead, we are stuck with baby buggy rubber tires that compromise the very
driving parameters we all buy a BMW for in the first place.


I know I am echoing a lot of threads on here with this, but just wanted to get my 2 cents in that it is indeed Heaven vs Hell difference.


I did buy the Bimmer Zone spare kit with jack, etc. and did try on the spare and drove it around the block and it worked fine.


HAPPY IN NRF HEAVEN
