Hello,
I have a 2013 X1 BMW.
I would like to switch from Run Flat Tires to Regular All Season Tires.
I live in Pennsylvania and i was wondering a good brand and model of All Season tires that work well with with my model car?
Also can you recommend a good tire repair kit in case a flat should occur since I will not have a spare available on the road?
Thanks in advance,

I'd suggest Continental or Michelin all seasons. Use the same sizes as your run-flats, eg. whatever size TireRack tells you to get for your car.
The best repair kit is your cell phone and roadside assistance if you have something bad enough to be totally flat and not drive-able. For any slower leaks you should be able to make it to a tire shop or home. Can always stop at a gas station and top off the tire if necessary.

With winter driving involved I like the Conti DWS06. In all of our testing they give the best combination of dry, wet and snow traction. For a repair kit we actually carry the Conti Comfort kit and it was rated number one by Consumers Report.

If I can help let me know.
A related question, I'm changing tire sise from 16 to 18 inch tires. How to I adjust the speedometer on my 2003 Z4.
If you choose the correct size tires the speedometer will stay correct. You should run 225/40R18 all the way around or with a 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 rear. If I can help let me know.
I am going to the staggered tire size 18 inch package on BMW 107 wheels. I had always heard, when you change to bigger or smaller wheels, an adjustment had to be made. By the way I purchased these tires from Tire Rack, Midway, 2nd set.
As long as you are using OE Wheel diameters: Front(225/40-18) Rear(255/35-18) they are within spec.

You just always want to keep the outside diameter the same as stock and you do not have to adjust the car.
I put Michelin Pilot Sport AS3's on my 2014 X1 and the drive and handling improvement was much better than the conti run flats. Just need to carry a fix a flat with a compressor and you're good. I also carry a plug kit. I also have pilot sports on my 328.
