For decades, Alpina has been BMW’s “custom shop” much like the relationship between Mercedes and AMG; the Alpina B7 is a twin-turbo high-performance edition of the 7-series full-size luxury sedan. With a retuned suspension and 599 hp on tap, the Alpina B7 is capable of 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and under 12 seconds for a quarter-mile dash. Your Alpina B7 would have been fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires as OEM.
When it’s time to shop 2012 BMW Alpina B7 tires, remember that this model has a staggered fitment with different size tires front and rear. Some of our picks for premium all-season tires for this make/model include tires like the Atlas Force UHP, Lionhart LH-Five and Winrun R330. For some great summer and ultra-high-performance options, take a look at tires like the Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Pirelli P Zero (PZ4 Sport) Just remember that the great cornering and braking performance from summer/UHP tires comes from a softer, stickier tread formulation, but these tires will stiffen and lose traction on colder days. Summer/UHP tires shouldn’t be used when daily temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
