You say you are "too busy" to run snow tires but you want to waste your time with this?

Yeah... i think you're right... i think i'll just have to go with a lower profile for sure... from what i've seen online the DWS does mount a little wider

thanks again i just need someone to reenforce the obvious, but figured i'd give it a shot and see if someone was crazy enough to do it

and in my defense i said i was "too lazy" not "too busy"

If I was transporting a new child, safety would be the highest priority. It takes 30 min to 1 hour to switch a set of wheels (if the tires are mounted)..

last winter I got my wife a 4wd and during snow that is what we drive when ever it snows... even with the blizzaks the M can get a little shaky specially driving down hill.... the snow are a Remanence of when my e46 330/e46 M3/e93 M3 were my only means of transport...
Plus my wife is such a bad driver i think i am more worried about her driving the baby around i guess it is Volvo time
