Any one in NYC have any advice for me. I don't do a lot of miles at all. The car is purely used for weekend drives, occasional day trips with the family. If I avoid the heavy snow days, can I get by in winter on the regular tires or should I have a winter set for when it's just really cold out anyways?
I've heard that some garages/bmw dealerships will store your summer tires which would make it a great option. I don't have the space to store wheels in my apartment |

also, Our roads are abysmal so unless you have the 824Ms you will need to have pothole radar. |

I do actually have an outdoor area but figured I wouldn't want the wheels and tires exposed to the elements all winter either. The car is garaged all of the time Storage locker in LIC is a good idea. I have a bunch of seasonal stuff like golf clubs and baby stuff that needs storing anyway so that's a good excuse |

Initial quote from my dealership on a winter set for my incoming G80 xDrive is $5000+, available October.
Looks like the "official package" is 19" (wider in the back) 829Ms wearing Pilot Alpin 5*.

These are BMW winter wheels. Each wheel + tire can sell for ~$800-1000 USD. They are cast not forged wheels, so at least each wheel isn't $2000+. Is it cheap? No. But compared to the Tirerack package (fugly MSWs) it is only ~$500 CAD more pre-tax, and you have the set that BMW put together, fits correctly, and - I assume - tested for driving experience on the car.

I agree that buying from BMW gives you a package that is designed for the specs of the car ensuring the safest options.
I think I'm going with that option. I'm curious as to why they would have a wider rim on the back but tire sizes are the same both front and back. Maybe it has something to do with traction and the AWD system?? |

ended up going with this aftermarket setup.. not many rim choices out there that's economical
Superspeed Flow Form RF05RR 9.5x19 et25 pcd 5x112 cb 66.6 Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 275/35/19 https://www.super-speed.ca/flowform-rf05rr $2900 + tax installed.... TPMS was $250 on top of it.... will put these on later in Nov when it's actually cold and Superspeed was kind enough to let me do a test fit since this is the first G8X car to be fitted to their wheels but they are confident about fitment based on specs there were some cheaper rims but with these heavy gravity cast junk that any upfront savings you will give back at the pump easily. PA5s were also up there in price amongst tire choices, Blizzak LM-32 would've been ~$400 cheaper for example.

250+ tax .... most shops were quoting me in the 250-300 area for TPMS.. its a luxury of not getting an error everyday during winter i guess

Which establishment did you buy them from in the GTA? Wonder if they ship to Ottawa in case I cannot find anything local here. Or maybe I'll make a roadtrip to break in the new car if it arrives before the snow

Were you able to try to wheels on the car to verify fitment? I want to be sure before ordering these. |
