Just sold BBS 21s. Got a puncture on one of them and couldn't find replacement tire anywhere. Michelin even stopped making 21". It seems that 21" is out of the game. I switched back to stock 18" Conti CrossContact UHP. Not bad but I still miss that extra 30mm wide of rubber on 21s. I think my next set will be some all-season tires with adequate cornering stability.

I got the Beru TPMS sensors installed the other day. Now no warning message anymore! Almost $100 per wheel from Tire Rack.

If you have TPMS and don't want to see error message, you have to purchase the aftermarket TPMS from tirerack.com at around $90 per wheel. My dealer tried swapping the TPMS from my stock wheel but it wouldn't fit. You want to switch TPMS off with the stock wheels still around. You will still get TPMS OFF message. If you have the bigger color dash LCD then it's not a big deal since u can still see other info; if you have the smaller red/yellow LCD like I do then u won't be able to see the radio station from dash. 285-40-20 is the setup for 20". Rolling diameter is 73.6cm vs. 73.77cm in stock 18".
