For MY 2015, at least in Canada, the new standard is performance RFTs (18x7.5, 225/40 R18 front and 18x8.0, 245/35 R18 rear), with both performance non-RFTs and A/S as no-cost options.

I've ordered my car with the standard performance RFTs, but I still have time to change my order. I absolutely don't want A/S, but I'm wondering if someone can offer some thoughts on whether to stick with the performance RFTs or switch to the non-RFTs. The car will be a DD, with a fair bit of highway/out of town driving, and I have no plans to track it. Excuse the cluelessness, but this would be my first car with RFTs.

Thanks in advance.

Runflats suck. They have hard sidewalls and react accordingly - at least the first set on my 135 did.

The PS2s on my 235 lasted 9467 miles before I had to replace them. Great tires, but far and away the shortest life for a set that I have ever owned.

Just depends on how you want the car to feel whilst driving it.

weird you mean PSS ? they don't come with PS2s

I'm averaging about 21.9 combined, and that is mostly highway though ... This is on a 2015 xdrive w/ 6700 miles.

It helps to use cruise control in eco mode on the highway.. Then i use comfort or sport on the highway.

I thought they were PS2s ? Maybe not - whatever they were, yep - less than 10k and had to be replaced.

The shop said I might have been able to squeeze another 1500-2000 miles out of the fronts but I just placed all four.

99% of my miles have been in Sport +. It's the only mode that's tolerable on this car to me.

Lol if you can only drive this car on Sport+ you have issues and a lead foot.

?

I can confirm, illuminated door handles are a standard 2015 feature and don't require any options on the US model of the m235i.
