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

Anyone have review on the tires? |
I had the continentals on order, then same thing, tire rack called me. Pirellis out as well. He found me Michelin all seasons. I'm here in NYC as well. It is what it is with these tires and sizing. I'll take what I can get and make it work. Lol I'm used to Blizzaks on my M, but they don't make them in these sizes for the 826 wheels on the G.
