2016 F56 JCW – Best Replacement Tires
Hello all,
I've got a 2016 F56 JCW 2DR Hardtop with 18" wheels that's still running the stock 205/40-18 run-flats.
When I had my 2008 R56 JCW I was running BF Goodrich KDW-NT's which I *loved*. Doesn't appear they are still available in a compatible size. I'm looking for something, presumably non run-flat, that has outstanding wet traction (I live in Portland, OR). Prefer tires with at least a little durability so I'm not having to replace them all the time.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Brad.
Thought about trying an SCCA Track Night at PIR? I know there's one coming up soon.
Consumer Reports might provide some guidance, too:

The Michelin Sports all season tires are great I understand

14K on OEM Pirelli's and developed two bubbles in rear left sidewall. No help from dealer so started shopping. Am going with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+ mentioned above. Will have installed next week when they arrive and will report back in as to how they feel. I have a 2016 f-56 JCW as well.

The dealership was no help, since they're not a Pirelli dealership, but a local tire shop was happy to get paid by them to do the work.
