Hi All,
I'm currently waiting for my '14 F21 118i M-Sport. My question is what tires came standard with your M-Sport BMW? If anyone know's what tire comes standard with the rim (18" M light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 386 M) that would be great if you can share that information as well. ![]() |

There have been some discussions about this before, and it seems to be a rather wide range of tyre brands. So basically you can never know before you get the car.

A friend of mine with a 116i M-Sport has Bridgestone S001 (18'' rims).
Other tyres that are factory fitted for the 18'' are the following: - Continental SportContact 5 SSR - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 ROF - Pirelli P Zero So, your car can come with any of the above 4 tyres.

Luck of the draw.
I got the P Zeros which i'm pretty happy about. People with the Goodyears seem to be pretty happy with them as well. My mate got the Continentals on his M135i and they are a bit sketchy at speed. Having had the bridegstones on 2 previous BMWs I was over the moon i didn't get them this time. They really were crap.

Jan '13 build 125i M-sport came on P-zero's in South Africa.
Probably the most expensive of the bunch to replace, or is it just a myth pirelli's are more expensive than other tyres? |

My 125i came with Bridgestone Potenza S001. I've now replaced those with Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The grip levels on these tyres is amazing, dry or wet. I agree with ovekvam, you cant go past the Michelin PSS...
