Brother I cannot for the life of me tell you why I thought you said your actual baby was gone. Thankfully it’s just the car. Happy you’re alive!
At this point hope all goes well for you.

If you are not doing track days, want to daily drive through 4 seasons, and don’t want to swap tires in the winter, Michelin has an answer: The Pilot Sport All Season 4. That is what I have on my Z4 M40i and this is how they compare to the Pilot Sport 4S:

Summer tires and under 40
degrees is a really bad combo. I don’t understand having enough cash to buy a 100k car and not spending 2k on a set of winter tires. On a positive note, the front end does look a lot better now! 😂

The problem in a vacuum is the P Zero* is pretty close in price to a PS4S*, so there's really no reason to get anything else. The next gen competition will be the SportContact 7 and the PS5S whenever those get released and released in our sizes. |

That’s true but I hardly drive it as I do have my 911 and a Jeep but I like to have options as my wife drives the Jeep so if I need to go out in the snow I would like to in the BMW but not that much to warrant another set of wheels, at least not now

I didn’t read through all 15 pages of this thread so apologies if this has been posted already.
I read a bunch of comments asking “what good would snow tires be on black ice?” Pretty obvious what they do (even on pure ice) if you watch this video. Yes it’s from 2009 but the results are similar with todays tires (though the newest all-seasons probably do a bit better today). These tests are only at 10mph. Imagine the stopping distances at 20, 30, or 40mph. https://youtu.be/GlYEMH10Z4s?si=4_pOwIGrjFFJcvmT |

Been a while since I posted here, as I firmly live in Blackwing Country. But I want to reply and say Praise God you are OK. The tires, speed, conditions, whatever - just Praise God you are OK

In part because some people continue to believe that driving on summer tires in the winter is acceptable.
It is not. It is unacceptable. Those who do so are dangerous to others, themselves, other property, and their cars, in descending order of importance. They may get away with it. Then again, a drunk driver may get away with driving drunk—until he doesn’t and someone else dies. Getting away with it does not make it right. Anyone can be ignorant about summer tires. Anyone can make a mistake. Although less common today in the era of cellphones and modern weather forecasting, anyone can be caught by surprise in unexpected weather conditions, as I once was over twenty years ago (as I described in a previous post). However, anyone who has read this thread, and still continues to drive on summer tires in winter conditions—which can be as little as a 40 degree F. day—refuses to acknowledge facts, and poses a threat to others on the road. If such a person crashes, causes damage, injury or death, and a lawyer reads this topic, that person will have a tough time defending himself in court. By then it’s too late to repent.

Nice video. Its frustrating to try to explain this to people with no clue. But now people can watch this instead. 😄 Get that 2k extra set and save your summer set thread for 4 months of the year. Get proper nordic winter tires, not all seasons and experience what actual safe driving in winter is like. I can assure everyone that the preformance difference is bigger than getting Cup2R's over a china summertire in summer. By the way.. at 30mph+ i assure you the stopping distance on summer tires are wherever the first obstacle is located. You can see on page 1 of this thread how that worked out. |

It’s not a requirment or ‘a thing’ over here. Once again, I have no issue with your general point saying winter tyres are sensible can you please understand that. But we get by just fine, because we drive the car to the conditions. So what you’ve written is pretty one sided. Not because we are ignorant, reckless, stupid or any of things you decide to label us. We have spent our entire driving life with the same set of tyres all year round. Maybe because we don’t have the class action lawsuit scenario…

100% agree here. However some seems to think that winter tire set is a waste of money let alone additional vehicle for that purpose alone. You know. I only drive in sport plus and all 🤣
