I get the back end out pulling sedately out of my street on these things.If you like to have fun in the dry and wet keep the Pirelli's, you can get the back end out just setting off from a junction. If you want proper grip then the Pilot 4's are insane.
In the ditch on 4 cold Pirelli!Don't open the Pirelli question up again, there are those that hate them and others that are wrong.
You can guess where I sit
It's a good argument with no racism, sexism or gold for the first post at least.Don't open the Pirelli question up again, there are those that hate them and others that are wrong.

Michelins were far better on my QP. Transformed the car in my opinion.My QPV Sport GTS came with Pirelli PZero’s in a good/new state so have not experienced anything else -the back end steps out quite easily if you put your foot down. What’s the difference with the Michelin PS4’s? Handy to know when it becomes replacement time. I’ve got PZero‘s on the X5 as well but those are run flat and rock hard. Has anyone had Bridgestone potenza’s on a QP5 (preferably GTS Sport facelift) but I know - wrong forum
in South Africa all BMW’s are on run flats, probably something to do with the fact distances are big and all BMW’s come with a 5 year/100,000km maintenance plan which includes towing. You also don’t want to get stuck in some areas….I’ve had my car picked up 250km from home and all for free (the average cost is obviously included in the selling price). They’ll even come if you run out of Petrol. It’s a great way to have trouble and cost free use of a car For 5 years, it’s also extendable. But yes, the run flats are brick hard and awful…no choice. Also - a set of tyres costs me the equivalent of about £1200 - all imports.Run flat P Zeros? If you are tired of life speak to the Samaritans before you do something else stupid.

I favour 2 machine guns and a flame thrower for close quarter incidents. It really does smell like chicken on a bbq.Been there done that - 3 soldiers with machine guns in the back of my Defender in northern Kenya - the poor blokes didn’t even know where they were going or how they were going back, but orders of the local police chief. They were very helpful with looking for firewood though….2 spares though and a repair kit.
2 spare soldiers sounds sensible but what kind of repair kit you carrying for said soldier?Been there done that - 3 soldiers with machine guns in the back of my Defender in northern Kenya - the poor blokes didn’t even know where they were going or how they were going back, but orders of the local police chief.

Good to note - I’ll probably change over to PS4 when my current P Zero’s are done - they tramline horribly. I also have them on my X5 though and they are fine on that car, no tramlining but they are run flats so maybe that makes them less sensitive to tramlining with the stiffer side wall.have four PS4 waiting to go on. my 3200. The QP was a revelation fitting Pilot Sport 4S to the rear. Long gone is the squirming feeling on motorway tramlines, like riding a bike with a flat tyre.
