Basically I can put winter tires in the exactly same dimensions as my summer tires- two 275/35/R19 Michelin Alpine 5 tires in the front and two 285/30/R20 Michelin Alpine 5 tires in the back for 1,400 Euro. On the other hand, local BMW dealer has a set of 4 OEM winter wheels (M829 jet black rims with 275/35/R19 Michelin Alpine 5 tires) for 4,400 Euro. Since the cost difference is not insignificant, my question is can I go with the first option? Why do the OEM winter tires have 19 inch rims both in the front and the back, and OEM summer tires have 19/20s? What is the worst thing that can happen if I go with the first option? My home town has very few days with snow during winter, I put it mostly for rain cuz I have cup2 tires right now
