Expensive Tires!
Damn, I knew tires wouldn't be cheap on my 2018 Comp Pkg M4 (with the 20" wheels), but I'm looking at $1500 (after taxes and mounting costs it will be more like $1800) for 4 new tires.
Does this sound about right to others? Also, will BMW offer some kind of warranty on the tires (like if I roll over a nail?) Or should I be looking to get new tires from a local tire shop?? |

Don't buy tires at the dealer, unless you have a great rapport with your SA

Another benefit of the 18" wheels. I got a set of the new Continental ExtremeContact Sports back in December for $870 + mounting from Tire Rack. Love these tires so much more than the MPSS.

I bought my tires from simpletire.com
I just bought a set of toyo proxe t1 sport 275/35/20 and 305/25/20 for under 500 with free shipping. R888 was under 800. They are running a toyo 15% discount on top. I never buy from tire rack because their price not good unless it's clearance item. |

You shouldn't need to replace all 4 tires simultaneously unless you're tracking the car. Rears will wear out before the front with spirited street driving.
I also have a comp package but did not go with cup 2s when replacing my tires. I first went Hankook (only good for burnouts) then Pilot 4s then R888R. If you want R888R I can get you a better price than tire rack. Dm me. |

FWIW, my local BMW dealership, and another one within driving distance, has a deal for "BMW Approved tires". It's buy 3 and get 1 free. Could save you about $200+ if they meet the BMW approved part.
