Can someone review my TireRack order before I place it?

First time buying a set of tires/wheels...

I have a 2009 328i e93, which I believe has the sport package (I have the 18" sport wheels/paddle shifter/etc).

I read through several other threads on here, and most seem to be focused on the 335's break clearing 17" wheels, but I didn't see much about a 328's brakes. Is there a difference?

This is my shopping cart so far.

Is there anything I might have any issues with?

Thanks!

Ya, you could go with non-runflats and it would lighten your financial load.

Many of us on this forum have transitioned to non-RFT for various reasons, but for me, it was ride comfort and better handling.

Ultimately, you need to make that decision. Everything else looks fine.

you should be fine with that setup. i like the idea of Run Flats in the winter as i wouldnt want to be stranded in the winter on the side of the road during a blizzard. the tires are an excellent choice. I have them on both my E90 and F10.

Thanks guys!

About the Run-Flats.. I plan on getting non-RFTs, when it comes time to replace my non-winter tires. But as wdeerfield said.. Being stranded in the cold is no fun. Either waiting for AAA or putting in a spare yourself is no fun in the middle of the winter. I'll pay the few extra bucks and suffer the rougher ride in the winter

I have the same tires/spec on now and they are excellent. RFT in winter is an ok compromise since it is a much softer rubber. Good choice!
