Actually, most ppl think tires are everything...but its not...I drive a Merc with budget Goodyear tires, yet can still wack my lowered Vios with AD07 tires and sport suspension..

So, there are many factors contributing to this....but, any car will easily improve the handling, braking etc with a set of better tires....what tires are the 328i using? Is it Runflats?

Ya it is runflat tire is it not good? Haha. Is runflat not good in performance?

Most people complain about BMW tires not because of the performance but the comfort, which is due to the RFT. This RFT has to have stiffer sidewalls and hence the comfort is also compromised. Performance wise actually very good as the stiff sidewalls make the handling/steering response sharper.

I have sit on bmw 325i msport e90 b4..and for me, Run flat tyre is really noisy and rough..however the tyre is superb.can feel it stick to the road eventhough I'm only passenger.

Runflat tire price are scary , 205/55/16 can easily reach rm1000
sidewall hard , difficult to remove during installation
threadwear r less , i rmb bridgestone RFT threadwear 180 ?

I used to have Bridgestone runflats on my E90. They were ok in the beginning but got much louder and wore out very quickly, by 22k km my rears were almost flat. Switched to Michelin non-RFT and am very happy but even then the PS2 can only last 40-45k km only.

The F30 without M-sport today isn't so bad, I was very impressed with the grip although the wider 255 M-Sport rims should be better though.
