Hey all, I ready to replace my run flat tires for regular tires. Anyone have a tire brand they like best. I drive a 2014 BMW X1 S drive 28i with tire size 225r50/17. I looked at a spare in Bimmerzone and they have one to fit. Any advice on if it is worth buying?

It's not cheap, but you can get a spare kit here:

As for tires, I'm partial to Michelin. They have several options for you to choose from depending on whether you want summer or all-season tires.

A couple of often mentioned tires around here are the Conti ContiSportContact and ExtremeContact along with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and Pilot Super Sport.

I would suggest going to tirerack.com and taking a look there.

Also, here is my thread from earlier this year on UHP All-Season tires:
