Had a flat MICHELIN® PILOT® SPORT 4 S

Hi guys,

My 2 month old 2020 M340i x drive had a flat and the tire shop has installed

MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S 225/40ZR19 instead of the original

225/40R19 for the driver front.

Should I be concerned with the mis matching tire model?

Thanks!

If possible you should always match tires exactly. In this case the speed rating (ZR) is higher than the OEM tire so you probably wouldn't notice any difference in performance. That being said I would ask the shop if they can match the Z rated tire.

The Michelin tire SKU# is 96232
See if your shop can get this instead

PILOT SPORT 4 S 225/40R19 93Y XL *

And if I keep what I have? I don’t think they want to play nice and make the switch. Even though I asked for the same tire!

They should match the "BMW star" version that comes with the car from the factory.

If you paid for the tyre, they should give you exactly what you ask for. If it was part of a tyre insurance package, they have the right to give you either exactly what is on your car or the tyre closest to that (I believe it’s in the fine print).
