Freaking out now! How can my car and BMW possibly know what brand/moldel tires that I just installed?

I'm also not sure that buying "regular" PS4 vs. * PS4 (or whatever) fits the criteria of "budget". It's not like Costco is only selling weird generic brands or something.

I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that 98% of all BMW drivers would never, ever be able to tell if they had * tires without looking at them.

Probably time to consider that tattoo . Great tires, not worthy of the premium price tag for many folks use cases.

BMWs factory supplied tires have really taken a dive. The Bridgestone RFTs on our 2022 X3 were utterly useless below 40F and we replaced them at <3000mi with Continental Extreme Contact DWS.
