suggestions for 19' winter tires

iliketogofast · 06-30-2008, 12:34 PM

sorry if this has been repeated.

i was wondering which winter tires people were using on their 19's. i would rather get 19' winter tires than have to get a whole new set of 18's.

Just get the 18's. The narrower tires will be better for snow traction, and you won't mess up your 19's with all the salt/snow.

by the time you buy a set of 19" snow tires you can proabably pay for a set of 18's with snows\all seasons.

I would go with a set of 18s with snow tires as well. Get a set of CSL wheels or M6 reps for the winter.

plus the saving of mounting and balancing every winter. I agree get a set of 18's for winter.

Gary...do you have OEM fitment for the 18" OEM rims or are you talking about new 8.5" rims all around..

Unfortunately we do not carry OE wheels, so if buying through us you'd need to purchase aftermarket. 8 or 8.5" up front, 9 or 9.5" rear for the E92 M3.

finding correct winter/all season tires is a PIA for the M3.

The closest I found was 255/35/19 front, 275/35/19 rear. Michilin pilot sport a/s. They cost more than my breyton gts wheels!
