Winter Driving in cold climate areas

Ronin76 · 12-25-2023, 10:16 PM

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to check to see what winter wheel and tire setups G87 owners are running with for those who are living in cold climates and will be driving their M2s in the winter.

Thanks!

If it is not extreme winters, I suggest conti dws for year round all seasons and use ps4 for track or spirited driving

Michelin PA5 winter tires - Germany. Normal sizes f/r on factory wheels.

Installation photo. Summer factory bi-color wheels are removed (on right) gone into winter hibernation

I bit the bullet and bought the BMW winter wheel setup. Works great and looks great. Better than messing around trying to find a wheel set that fits with tires as well.

Thanks for the reply. If you don’t mind me asking how much does that run? Is there a link you could provide?

Please ignore my previous post. I found it and yeah it looks nice and probably easier than searching for wheels and tires separately.
