better go get another one!!!

M3NOLA · 01-04-2012, 12:22 PM

I'm moving to a place without snow and need to sell my M3 winter wheels/tires before mid next week:

They are 235/40/18 all around with Blizzak WS 60s. These provide EXCELLENT traction on snow and ice. There are tires that are sportier to drive, but for snow/ice traction, I think these are outstanding. If the M3 is your only winter ride, these are what you'd probably want. They are on A7 Sport Edition wheels with BMW center caps. I've driven on them for 1 and a half winters but I only drive 1-2 days a week and not very far. They are still in excellent condition. I think they were around ~$1,500 from Tire Rack but I can't remember the exact price (I bought them off someone else who only had them a couple weeks).

Price is $650 for the set.

PM me an offer if you are interested.

Man, nice winter we're having this year! Only 1-2 real "cold snaps" - otherwise a lot of plus temps! I'll take this any day. Even keeping my truck relatively clean in this weather although I was just in Phoenix and it's funny to watch what I would consider extremely clean cars going into the car washes. Good times all around!

I was in Calgary the week of the 16th. Lucky enough to arrive during one of those cold snaps. I'm still thawing out. I was impressed to see several M3 out and about even at -20C.

Oh yeah awesome weather. Took my car out for a drive, it was a blast!

CSMRX7 · 01-31-2012, 10:07 AM

I have been driving my car pretty regularly this winter, even on the coldest days. Just go from heated garage to underground parking and back

Can't wait for spring to get some better tires on the car again though!

stefan · 01-31-2012, 10:27 AM

My poor winter tires.

I know your pain.

With the weather like this we should just have a winter meet. Forecast looks good for the next 13/14 days.

No kidding. I tried to drive on yoko AD08s in this temperature and they were no better. On these dry cool days I think a wide allseason would be perfect.

Hmm maybe time for a 3rd set of wheels and rubber haha.

Aren't there already 2? 1 is and e92 and the other an e90? I have seen both on the road and they look great.

stefan · 01-31-2012, 03:27 PM

I would definitely switch to my summer's but we've run into an issue where UPS damaged a tire upon shipping and are now being a real pain in the ass about it. They denied sonic-ms' claim so.. looks like I've got an unusable tire sitting on perfectly good wheels begging to be mounted.

I cant register to that site, it's so weird... By the way I just raced with a same jet black m3 somewhere between chinook and stamped park lol. That was a stock one but he drove like he was in a rocket :$$$ [COLOR="DarkOrange"] lol. He has his stock summers on, should probably say thanks to the weather this year..
