If you do not get the BMW version, it is not the end of the world, all of them are good, but the "star" tires are preferred as they have been tweaked to whatever specs BMW requested.

When you go outside of the stock sizes, obviously BMW OE tires are not generally available.
Hey Ben, when I put the OE 19" PS2s in my cart and go to check out, it pops up a "tire load warning", saying that the tires in my cart have a higher load rating than OE, but the product description has them at 93Y front, 98Y rear, like you say (which is also what's on the sidewall of my original tires). Just a site error? Also, do have any ETA on when you'll have the fronts back in stock?
