My New Winter tires and wheels for 335i Coupe

Kiss335i · 10-30-2007, 10:54 PM

I just received from Tire-Rack my new winter tires and wheels for my 335i Coupe, 980 $.
4 Sport Edition A7 17 " x 7.5 Wheel
4 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 225/45/17 VR
4 BMW original center caps

Everything was as expected, the wheel is very nice, thanks to Gary from Tire-Rack.

I ordered everything last friday, 26 octobre and delivered it to the UPS Store in Plattsburg, I live in Montreal, so I just pick them up this afternoon, 2 hours driving to save 240 $ (shipping to Montreal, brokerage fees and duty, I only pay the taxes after passing the customs, 144 $)...no too bad.

I will post pictures when I mount them...we still having a cool automn!

Are they runflats?

Do they have TPMS?

What # do you call to ask for Gary?

Thanks!

We had those same rims from the Tire Rack on our old 633csi. They are a great choice for winter because they inexpensive and are VERY easy to clean (they look good too).

Hi,

Your 4 new tires are not runflats. Do you have a different spare tire available in the trunk from a previous purchase?

If not, and you get a flat, you might be in trouble, you may want to purchase a 5th to keep in the trunk.

Also, if you didn't get the TPMS, you may be driving with a warning light on all winter. (unless you can disable the functionality? I'm not sure).

Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for the pictures of the A7, they look awesome!

Kiss335i · 10-31-2007, 05:49 PM

The tires are not runflat and canadian E92/E90 don't have the TPMS system. I have a flat repair kit in the trunk, I'm always nearby the town, if I do some long disatance, I will take with me on of the stock wheel, just in case. I really prefer that than to drive on the run flat and then need to scrap it. It's really more easy to repair a regular flat than to wait and find a place where they repair the runflat tires.

Most people do not buy RFTs for winter and believe it or not, are smart enough to figure out that they might have a problem if they get a flat tire and make alternate arrangements. Also, none of the '06s have TPMS.

Man those look a LOT like the ASA JH3s.

Good choice. They will look great on the car.

I got the same set up except I did get the Dunlop M3 runflats. Gary was great with answering questions. I also had Tire Rack install TPMS.

If you look at the inner side of the wheel, there's a marking that says "ASA JH3". If I'm correct, ASA wheels are slightly lighter and several dollars more.

You're right..So I ordered Sport Edition and I received ASA-JH3? Or are they the same wheel or it's only the color that's different...The ASA-JH3 looks more silver!

does the TPMS warning light constantly beep and annoy the hell out of you?

cto · 11-11-2007, 11:32 PM

He is from Canada, so I dont think he will be beeped.

Rims looks good on the car with the BMW cap, at first I thought is the non sport pkg 335i rims.

jerrym · 11-12-2007, 02:44 AM

arent those rims on the 328?

Exactly, we dont' have TPMS in Canada, so there is no pronlem with that

I don't have the sport package, what you're looking it's a non sport package mags and tire, they have all the same size.

Dipdidi · 09-30-2008, 12:03 PM

Lots of good info, thanks guys I will be checking this thread more intensively when i get home...

Question: Would 17" tires even fit on my car? I dont think the 17"s would clear my breaks/disks..

Only few 17" wheels will clear the brake calipers on the 335i. So if you're going with another set of 17" wheels, make sure they can fit!
