Tires for the BMW Z4 get about 18,000 miles. The front pair are a different size from the rear pair, so you can’t rotate them.
New set of four, about $1500.
The tires are run flat. There is no spare.

Welcome to the world of high performance. Those tires are why the speedo goes to 180.
You now own a sports car. Think of it as having a high maintenance girlfriend. Expensive, but fun.
Omigoodness Elise. If my girlfriend reads your comment I’ll have to buy her tires, too.
You can’t drive a Z4 on a Miata budget. To you it is an inconvenience, to BMW it’s a “revenue stream” when you come back to the dealership to get new tires.
I should talk. I just had to get two broken rear suspension coils on my Volvo S40, along with the tires I ruined because of driving on them, replaced. $1200.
Click and Clack were laughing on a show earlier this month that whenever they tell a Volvo owner the repair will be $1000, the owner seems relieved to get off so easily.
I remember a woman once telling me about 45 years ago that the reason Volvos lasted 11 years — as their advertising claimed at the time — was because Volvos spent 10 years in the shop.
