Yep! Couldn’t pass up that deal. Given how these cars chew tires I figured they’d wear out before they age out.

So far so good, but only have about 20 miles on them. Quieter than pirellis, ride is maybe a bit stiffer or atleast boomier on impacts, turn in is slower but still good for a winter tire.

Good deal. Yeah I tried to resist for weeks but ended up succumbing yesterday while also taking advantage of a Black Friday wheel deal. I agree, if I can get maybe 3 seasons out of them here in MD it'll be money well spent. Thanks…car looks great!

Something about the more aggressive tread seems cool. Makes me wish someone would build a M3 rally-spec or 'Safari M3' or HooniMMM

Thanks to everyone on this thread for sharing info from their experiences, very helpful.

Looks amazing!! Do you mind posting your set up?

Little preview - waiting for space at my detailer and some compliant weather for better shots

Shout out to Draper again as well as to PaddleShifterz and getBMWparts for making it all happen

I've been really impressed by the PA5s, both in dry and snowy conditions

I put them on my Macan this year (PA5 SUV), and have been very impressed as well. Tons of confidence on snow and ice in the 2 storms we've had, and still decent on dry roads.

Side by side comparison
Winter jet black 826m on Michelin alpin 5s
Summer bicolor 826m on pirellis

Loving the ride on the Michelin winters so far!

Here is my set-up. I did buy my wheels from Wheelsco in Canada as I wanted a completed package ready to mount. I went with the narrower tire, 245/40's instead of the 275/35's. I also went with Michelin Ice/Snow. Yes, they do look narrow but they should do good in the snow/crud.

One question for you guys, what do you guys think of the mudflaps? It does look like a rally car due to the narrower tires and flaps, I did get ceramic coated and PPF'd, but I just wanted extra protection.

Looks great! I got the RW Carbon mud flaps. Will post pics once the car arrives this month.

Can I ask you the color of the wheels? Looks like the bronze, but can’t tell for sure in the picture. Thanks!

You found non-OEM 18s that fits the G80 or are those 19s? Looks like 19s but wanted to confirm. Also I am guessing you needed to add spacers due to narrower tires otherwise it would look really tucked in?

I have a very similar, if not the same, setup. 19x9.5. I posted the details on November 2 in this same thread.

Sure, they are 'Satin Bronze'. Its made by Superspeed, FlowForm RF05RR_Satin Bronze. I think they look sharp with this color instead of the black wheels.

No spacers and they are 19's all around. Yeah, I wanted them tucked in for the snow.

Mind dropping your wheel and tire Fitment specs.

Sorry about that, 19x9.5 Superspeed FlowForm RF05RR Satin Bronze / 245/40R19 Michelin X-ICE snow

Here is the website I bought them from (noted earlier in this thread)

Sorry, I don't have ET number on the wheel.

If that's a 9.5" rim then et is probably same like the stock front rim, surprised they put such a narrow tire on a 9.5" rim.

D///M · 12-05-2022, 04:49 PM

Here's my 829M setup with 15mm spacers in the front and 18mm in the rear.

I ordered the same setup and will post pics as soon as my M3 arrives at the dealer.

RF05RR. 19x9.5 ET25 5x112 CB 66.6. Also, 19x9.5 ET10 5x112 CB66.6 can be used with some tires (with the wrong tires, you can get some rubbing on the wheel well). According to one of the technicians, he says:

“With the +10 offset the 275/35R19 would be compatible however the tires would need to be something in a performance winter or southern European winter design as anything with a squared off Nordic style shoulder design has given us rubbing issues on the +10et. If you know your tire model I'd be happy to verify for you.”

I got the +10 with Blizzak LM32 from tire rack.

I also got those closeout Blizzaks from Tire Rack. Bonus - they were sold as 2018 production but mine came with 2020 DOT labels.
