I have the continental pro contacts in 245/40/18. So far I have about three tire repairs due to picking up nails and one blow out due to a sidewall failure. Luckily, I had gotten the road hazard warranty from discount tire/americas tire when I first got the car. They took care of me every time I bought the car in.

Thats what I have on my sons 328i. We've been very happy with the tires but that kid picks up more nails than a magnet.

Does anyone have recommendations for an alternate all season tire for this vehicle besides the OEM Pirellis?

Please advise,

Thanks

it happened to me 6 times in 1 and a half year, its **** since tires are not that cheap.

So I went from 19in to 18in and it still happens.. so I concluded that the sporty models are alot stiffer and I will not put 17 or 16 wheels to avoid the issue.

so I began my journey of cruising slow and it works on 19 and 18s, avoid messed up road, pot holes...etc
