winter tires/rims
Hey,
Just leased a 335xi sedan!!! Just wondering what people usually get in terms of winter tires. I don't want to spend $$$ on expensive winter tires/rims. I've driven Michelin PA in the past with other more modest cars (Accords/Camry/Civics). Does anyone have any suggestions? Will Michelin Pilot Alpine take away from the enjoyment of the car? Or should i just fork up the money for the tires/rims from BMW? Thanks. |

I bought 17" replica wheels (style 162) with Toyo KX tires for my car. The wheels cost me about 600$ and they look pretty good imo.

Just get tires and mount them on your rims. Cheapest way to go.

Just wanted to add:
Swapping your wheels and tires too often is not a good idea, but since you are leasing, just get 4 winter tires...
