anyone still have summer tires on?

shagkie · 11-05-2009, 07:40 AM

This friday seems like it's going to be pretty cold but next week it seem to be warming up again.

SlammedR8 · 11-05-2009, 09:38 AM

I took my 20's off, and now im riding on my 19s with PS2s (just traded my 18s with a fellow member)
I LOVE IT!

I am on summers, but have another car to drive if it snows.

When it gets really cold I will throw on some winter tires

SlammedR8 · 11-05-2009, 10:09 AM

I think we have at least 3 weeks before we get any substantial snow

SlammedR8 · 11-05-2009, 10:16 AM

see....

kmac1980 · 11-05-2009, 10:19 AM

have mine still on, but i'll more than likely switch to winter setup on sunday...looks like a nice day to be outside and do the switch. I hate nothing more than switching wheels when its freezing out and you can't feel your fingers

Did you put in spacers? How do the 19s look with your car being lowered an all?

I took delivery with the OEM snow package on. It's snowing in Waterloo right now.

Of course.
I only had 10mm spacers from my 360s (which I used up front, as the rears as close to the fender as possible).

So I put the 10mm spacers in the rear for now, and Im awaiting my 15mm spacers for the front. Should be here this week or early next week

AMOCHOSTO · 11-05-2009, 11:10 AM

I have the summers on, will likely install my winters in a week or so.

If it was mine I would as the Pirelli 20's that are on it are crappy in the snow.I was given this truck to drive for the winter and it had 20's.The truck that I had ordered for myself had the 18" all terrains which are very good in the snow.

I posted the pics in another thread if you want to see the 19s with the 10mm rear spacer, I will take more pics when I install the front spacers

M3 vert · 11-05-2009, 12:10 PM

Yes I do, and plan on driving till the first salt, then back to the good ol Lexus GS

Yep, that would dictate that I'm also getting to be a "veteran" in age also..

Got my first BMW in early 1971, a lightly used 1970 2002. I had two other 2002s (1972 & 1975), a '72 Bavaria, a '74 3.0CS (wish I would have kept it), a 1976 530i, 1978 733i (didn't like, too big), 1982 528e (no power), 1983
533i, used 1981 528i, and a 1986 535i. Then a big time gap to my '08 535xi and now the M3.
