Best Tires for BMW Z4

I daily my RWD BMW Z4 in Chicago. I invested into Nokian winter tires and never had issues with being stuck.

I have a set os PS4Ss on my Z4 and they're pretty good.

I’m a big fan of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics. They strike a nice balance of sporty with reasonable wear and good rain grip. They have a decent rim protector

Swapped my wifes Z4 from runflats to normal.

Pros: better ride, less likely to crack rims, cheaper tyres.

Cons: no spare tyre.

I had the Pilot Alpines on my Z4M Coupe last winter. Loved them for below freezing dry conditions, and I was driving past stuck subarus in snowy conditions as well.

i've replaced some RFTs on my Z4 with Michelin Pilot SuperSports, and LOVE them, but i doubt they're in your < $500 budget..

I drive my RWD performance summer tires in sub freezing temps when it’s dry out, WITH caution. It will be like using hard plastic tires. No sudden shift in weight please!

I’ve ran them for autox for fun when I had bmw Z4. They aren’t that good. Lol. Decent daily tires though.
