Hi, my car has been skidding really bad with these performance tires that came with them from BMW. They are bridgestone, but today I braked on a little wet road, not very wet, and it just started to skid. So I want to replace them with all season Mitchelene tires. My only question is, that these tires are not RFT's. Will there be any issues fitting them on the rims or TPMS problems?

How old are the tires? What is the tread depth on them? Which kind of Bridgestones are they?
I have had 0 issues with these tires on wet roads, so I am suspecting your remaining tread is very low. So you may need new tires regardless of whether they are all seasons or not.
Michelin has runflat tires if you want to go that route. Otherwise if you don't want to use runflats, then no issues fitting them assuming you get the correct size. You just need to worry about your spare tire situation in that case.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons are awesome tires. Very close to summer tire performance on the street. I ran them last year on my E36 M3 in 4" of snow with no issues.

I'd recommend them for year round use as long as you aren't doing anything really aggressive like autocross or track days.

You very well may already have all season tires on the car. Like Mryakan says...what size, what model, what's the remaining tread depth?
