I know - kind of a weird question, but...

I need to carry 4 new tires (stock sizes) to the dealership, which is about 200 miles away.

Any ideas/suggestions how to squeeze them into the cabin, and avoiding any damage to the interior.

Thanks!

Unless there's some specific need to drive to exactly that dealership, it's much easier to change tires locally at any tire shop. Will be cheaper and no need to think how to get wheels to 200miles

I concur with avdept. Squeezing them in the cabin may result in damage to the interior. You're better off having a local installer arrange to pick up your tires for the installation, even if there would be an additional cost associated with it.

Thanks for the input!

I agree...I should have just gone to a local tire shop mount/balance the wheels. I think I just went overboard with being careful with my car.
I did manage to get all 4 tires in, drive 200 miles to the BMW dealer, without any apparent/obvious damage to the interior.

If I wanted to be over the top, I probably could have even had the local shop mount balance, and then had BMW balance again, I had them to do a 4 wheel alignment as well.

Well, let's how long these tires last (Michelin pilot sport). Now i know for next time!

You drove 400 miles to install and balance tires?

Pilot Sports are the best!
