Tires on Comp Pack

Before anyone flames me; I used search and couldn't find the answer.

What tires (brand and model) come with the Comp Package? It doesn't come with run flats does it? Does this pack come with Pilot Super Sports or something else? My car is still on the water and I am trying to determine if I need to budget to dump the run flats or not. I despise run flats...

No M car comes with run flats*


*Not sure about the X5/X6 M or 1M or the new M5.

It's the lottery! Most 2011.5 and later ZCP cars come with Pirelli P-Zeros, although many with Michelin PS2. I've seen a few with Continental Contisports 3.

No way to know!

I always thought that is unusual. You should be able to decide what tires you get on a 70,000+ car. The fact that it's luck of the draw is stoopid.

I took Euro Delivery of my E93 earlier this month (non ZCP, but with 19" 220M) and I got Pirelli P Zeroes.

Why? The P-Zeros are much grippier tires.

Well because I have them on other cars and they seem grippier, more predictable than the Zeros, at least on the front. To really be able to say correctly, would have to try the PS2's on the 3.

Just took delivery of my 2011.75 E92 two days ago and it came with the Pirelli P-Zeros. I plan to switch to PSS's once they wear out, but it's nice that the Pirellis run so much wider than the PS2's did because they fill the wheel out much better and don't look stretched

Yeah, they have this unnatural bias towards them. I actually think the Contis are comparable. (I am not a huge PS2 fan anyway)
