Hey guys the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 looks very promising. Currently I am running on stock continentals and I have seen a decent wear. I can't decide between a set of A/S 3 or snow dedicated tires. So far the reviews give me the impression that A/S 3 handles extremely well in dry sessions. They even outperformed some summer tires. So for the people who have made a switch to A/S 3 from stock summer tires, did you notice a significant decrease in performance and steering feel? If the A/S 3 really affects the driving feel, I might just get winters tires and summer tires later.

I just wanted to say....
I placed my order Monday, UPS attempted the first delivery yesterday (but I was at work) and I got them Wednesday. Holy shit balls that was fast. Kudos to Tirerack. |

Ben@tirerack,
I can't PM you, so I'll ask and hope you check this posting. In the interest of winters, I have an E92 Comp M3 and can't find a used set I want to purchase. If I put rubber on my current ZCP wheels for the winter, I need guidance. I live in Portland & it's mostly wet, but will get some ice and occasional light snow here - a few inches at the most then it's gone in a few days. I'm not sure Blizzak LM-60's would serve me well with so little snow in the Pacific Northwest. After reading the forum, PA4's sound closer to what I may need - you can interject here. Problem is, I don't think they sell your suggested sizes to fit on ZCP wheels without stretching: 255/35R19 front & 275/35R19 rear, do they? Am I stuck with running LM-60's on ZCP wheels if I don't purchase a second winter set of rims? Thanks, Ben |

http://www.michelinman.com/tire-sele...ails#techspecs You could potentially get a 285/35 rear 255/35 front but that's pushing the diameter a bit tall in the rear and is pretty wide for a winter tire. Check out Dunlop wintersport 3D and Pirelli Sottozero Serie II in addition to the LM60. The Dunlop would be my preference for performance winter in ZCP sizes. I'm not sure why the Dunlop 4D doesn't come in more than 1 19" size. |

I have these lying around from my 2010 Carrera 4S and was wondering if they would fit on my ZCP 19" wheels, OEM brakes & suspension (competition).
Pirelli Sottozero 295/30/19 & 235/35/19 I know they aren't the ideal size but I would rather not buy a new set unless necessary. Won't be driving in snow much, just cold weather. Currently on PSS. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have 19 inch wheels in my e90 M3 and I want to buy ContinentalExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season) tires, but they only come in 245/35ZR19 sizes for the front wheel. I don't see the 265/35ZR19 size for rears.
Can I match them with 265/30ZR19 93Y on the rear wheels? I understand that my speedometer will be slightly of, but what are the other potential disadvantages of that setting? Or maybe 275/35ZR19 is the better choice, but will it fit on OEM size wheels (9.5 inch wide)? If so, would it be better yet to match them with 255/35ZR19 in front (on 8.5 inch rims)? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....emeContact+DWS http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=177 Last edited by polonus; 06-13-2014 at 04:44 AM.. |

255 front 275 rear will fit on your existing wheels and will have the best match front to rear. 245 front 275 rear would work fine, and is better if you have lowering or spacers in front and are concerned about rubbing. Please note that while the DWS is good in the winter for an all season tire, it is NOT a true winter tire. It works in winter, but is not a specialist.

The winter lineup will start to fill in during the late summer, and I'll have a better feel for what is available. I will post another update to this thread with the primary 2014 options.

Summer tires are getting hard and less sticky when temperature is below 50, so for those 3-4 cold months I can switch to all season tires. When I move back to Poland one day, I'll go with full winter tires - if I find them in that size. |

Should have a pretty good handle on what is in/coming for the winter late August or early September.

What's offset should I go for if I want to get 245/40/18 all around? Any of the rims would work? (not a big fan of the A7 rims) Thanks!

Our internet here is restricted at work, so I couldn't see the Amazon link. But I carry the MR118 and there are none that we have listed to fit. Which leads me to another point: brake clearance can be an issue, so if you're buying the VMR wheels, make sure that the seller confirms that they will clear your brakes.

Ben,
I’m looking for a set of winters to mount on factory M220 wheels. I’m considering the following: Pilot Alpin PA4 F: 245/35R19 or 245/40R19 R: 255/35R19 or 255/40R19 Or Blizzak LM-32 F: 225/40R19 or 245/40R19 R: 255/40R19 I had a set of PA3’s on my 335i and really liked them, so I’m leaning towards the PA4’s. I’m also thinking the 40 series would be better from a ride/MN pot hole protection standpoint. Do you see any issues with any of these combos? Any recommendations? Thanks! |

Ben,
I just jumped into an E90 M3 from an E92 335i. I still have my old rims with brand new continental DWS tires from the 335i. Here are the specs: Miro 111 F: 19x8.5 ET35 235/35 R: 19x9.5 ET33 265/30 Will this work with my E90 M3 for my winter setup? Thanks |
