Bring the tirerack quote to your dealer and ask if they match the price or get close to it. If not, buy from tirerack, have them shipped to your dealer, and get them installed with an alignment and ask for CCA discount. That’s the easiest, not the cheapest but a good option to have peace of mind.

BTW, Discount Tire also matches tirerack pricing….

Most BMW dealers now have a "Tire Store". Work out installed dealer pricing vs Tire Rack and an installer. For example this is a link to my dealer as an example.

They'll ship the tires to your door for free and fast. You can then take them to any installer you'd like or like others have said shipped to an installer.

You can get the car aligned, drive 2 miles and hit a pothole, and your alignment is shit, again. I guarantee people aren’t going in and getting their alignment checked, everytime they hit a pothole.

Bad camber doesn’t kill tires anywhere near as bad as having your toe off. Imagine having a rear tire toed out 10° you’re literally dragging that rear tire down the street. It’s like riding a bicycle and putting your right foot on the ground and just letting it drag down the street.

I get my cars alignment done at every oil change - Seriously ! sometimes it's at 6 month interval and sure enough if you are driving on a winding road a wheel or 2 will be out of spec ...Aligned cars drive effortless against the drag

btw Discount Tire in CA is America's Tire and yes they own Tirerack

Are these tires labeled as OE when you browse the tire selection? There is no "*" labeling
