I'm actually lookin' at winter tires too, the Pirelli Scorpions right now are probably what I'll go with. I haven't tried any of the others. I'm more familiar with the Pirellis as a few friends have had them before.
Unfortunately they are $350 each (Runflat) w/ no current rebates etc. 20"
I would imagine the other two brands are in the same price range ?
I still need to pick "winter" rims,
Anybody have any suggestions ? At least towards 19" vs 20" and performance, 'cause obviously the rims and tire prices drop quite a bit at 19".
I plan to just match Front and Rear 20" tires in 275/40/R20s unlike my OEM Y spoke X5d Sport set-up w/ Dunlop Sports ( the rears are 315/35/20),
which looks nice, but I need snow traction.
Is it true a wider tire is worse in snow ? I know for racing wider was better for contact...
Other than Tirerack and discount tire any other websites to check out or for BMW replica rims ?
Thanks
