replace tires and wheels

I currently have 156 16" wheels, and I am getting 18" 162 in a few days.

Officially first mod on my 325i. very excited!

Due to cold weather, I am planning to get all-season tires.

How much would it cost for decent 18" all-season tires?

also, I want to know how much it would cost for mounting and balancing.

I would look forward to your reply. Thanks

If you have room to store them, I would suggest a set of summer performance tires for your 18" rims and a set of winter tires for your 16" rims.

18" A/S can run from $100 to $220 depending on what you want. I personally loved the Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S, they will run about $135 per tire.

congrats, the 162 will look great. I went from 156s to 161s and I love how these larger wheels/tires fill the rear. That's was my biggest issue with the 156s, rears looked too far in.
