If they are the run-flats, then will wear quicker (many BMW owners claim in less than 1/2 normal tires) & cost almost double to replace. If regular tires, then you should have no complaints from such a small car...unless an agressive driver with a Cooper S & performance tires.

I also have a full set of snow tires on rims so I use them for about 4 months a year as well which saves wear/tear on regular tires.
