Tire question for 2011 335 xdrive coupe
My car came with staggered wheels and I need to replace the two front tires. One has a sidewall puncture and the other has a sidewall bubble.
Do I have to use the same brand tires for the front as I have on the back? The guy at the dealership said I absolutely do, they wouldn't install it any other way. Also, I know a lot of guys on here have ditched the RFTs for regular tires, has anyone used Non RFTs up front and kept RFTs in the back or is that just a bad idea? Thanks. |

Avoid mixing tires if at all possible. There are many threads with with forum members reporting handling and stability problems when mixing tires, especially run flat with non run flat tires.

Pick up a set of new tires and then sell the two good tires that are on your car now. RFT tires are super hard so I would go with non RFT tires for sure.
IMO if I could not afford 4 new tires and I only needed 2. Mixing name brands is not that bad but mixing RFT with non RFT tires is a NO forsure. |
