winter tires set up on e90

BigMouthWalking · 08-26-2011, 01:41 PM

Its almost that time of the year! ( depressing..I know)

Just wondering what people have in mind for winter set up in 2011 since I will be looking for one. It will be great if you could post pics of your set up and where you got them from?

Also, what do you do for storage for people like me who dont have a garage!

Thanks

I'm running non-staggered 17" Rial Salernos and Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires as my winter setup. Handled great through the last (particularly rough) winter. No pictures installed, but I could probably snap a pic or two of the wheels with caps and tires mounted before I try plastidipping them black for kicks.

I just picked up a set of Goodride dedicated winter tires for the stock 17's. A FYI, its definitively a good time to buy. I just paid 100 for each tire at Townfair

damn, thats cheap. I got the OEM 18's on my 335d but I will swing by Townfair. I like my stock wheels so I might just get an entire winter set up.

My winter set is 225/40/18 all around. I went with 550 Msport Style 172 replicas. At that time I didnt want to have different radius and had very less knowledge about rims in general. They look very good but are as heavier as my sports package. In case I need to change I will go for more narrower tires on 17". Ideal would be 205/45/17 or 205/50/17 for boston winters. Check tirerack and classified section in here. I got them from ebay.
