Has anyone tried these tires

General AltiMAX RT43 235/40R19XL 96V BSW I have used these on several previous cars in the past, those worked very well, quiet, handled well, great snow traction even though they are all season, just wondering if anyone has used the on the M3?

I have absolutely no experience, but remember that the stock tires aren't just random choice. They are chosen because of their limited rolling resistance to increase the range of the car. Being narrow and hard helps decrease the resistance.

understood, may be willing to give up a few miles for a better ride. The stock tires are harsh

Have you tried dropping tire pressure yet? One way to calm the ride.

The 19” OEM tires are not that efficient and lean towards a performance high traction tire. There are much more efficient 19” tires but you trade off traction.

The higher tread wear tires tend to be lower rolling resistance (more efficient) all season. And lower tread wear tires tend to be the grippy high traction (less efficient) summer tires.
