I got my car with 14K miles on it -- the original B'stones had already bubbled and failed on two wheels, and been replaced, so the tires were mismatched. By 20K, the two original ones were worn out. That's worse performance than I used to get with Michelin MXXX3 or PS2 summer tires on my old M3!

I now have about 6500 miles on Michelin PS2 A/S+ with 18" sport package. They ride much better than the B'stone bricks did, handle every bit as well (better in bumpy corners, since the tires don't skip over the bumps) the tires are 2/3 the price, and will last twice as long. Plus I get some limited snow capability. I got the compact spare kit from Bavarian Auto, and I also have carried a 12v compressor for years, for slow leaks.

Highly recommend ditching the OEM pieces of crap.
