Re: pls help with tires

For heaven's sake, you've got a BMW, which are noted for their handling. T rated tires are definitely a downgrade in the handling department. There are a few safety reasons not to go that direction as well, but the thing you will notice more than anything else is how slowly the car will respond to steering input.

Stick with what BMW recommends.
