Drove the M235i rwd on runCraps

And it drove like shit!!!!!

I just drove the m235i on the 225/40 all tire setup and it drove really bad.

I nailed first gear with them and runflats just spun, no grip at all , and I wasn't trying to spin the wheel or do burnout etxx....

Not even sure why the rwd 235i HAD runflats to begin with ????

Also drove the M4, and now I feel the M235i is underpowered, fuckkkkk shouldn't have driven the M4.

Omg, the M4 is basically the 235i, but 5x better.

I will prob end up with the 235i, and possibly add a stage 1 tune, but man the M4 is efffin temping as hell !!!!

Btw, I did drive the M235i with the MPSS , and it seemed a lot better, this was a month ago or so.

Why would they put the 225/40 runflats on the 235i !?!!???

For people who want all season tires. But personally Michelin A/S 3s are a much better choice.

Tires totally overwhelmed by power, and I think rear tire width is narrower also!!!


Felt like I was on wet pavement when I gunned it.

Here in the northeast I have ONLY seen dealers who order the 2 series with the A/S RFT's. You have to special order summer tires on almost any car that has A/S's as an option.

I'm surprised they put them on in Florida, but it may have been a car they traded for from another dealer out of state.

Runflats also felt "floaty" while driving, like rears not wide enuff.

I have the runflats on my car still until my new wheels come in with the summer tires.

They are not horrendous but they soak up bumps like blocks of wood.

I haven't had any issues with the car feeling floaty but I have the pressures fairly high. Tires may have been under-inflated.

How many miles on the car? If under 200 or so, you're way inside the "tire break-in" point to even out the surface and lose all the mold release.
