Winter tires?

Post by Zedebee » Sat Nov 28, 2020 8:19 pm

I’d definitely recommend having a dedicated set of winter wheels and tyres, then you can swap ‘em over whenever you like. My last car was a Toyota GT86 on Michelin Primacy tyres which was undriveable in the snow. I switched to Cross Climates and the difference was astonishing.

I have been looking high and low. Been looking to try and buy some wheels with tyres already fitted, can anybody recommend any more sites?

I've checked, wheelbasealloys, mrtyres.co.uk (seems to be a few mirror sites of this, ebay etc. Am I missing some glaring choices?

Winters went on today.
5th season with these now. They’re actually the original 16 inchers off my old E36 coupe fitted with Kumho Izen 225x50x16 all round and super comfortable due to that tall profile. Fantastic grip on ice and snow and not noisy at all.
Plastidipped them black to disguise the titchyness a bit but they look ok.

To be honest, I didn't consider second hand tyres, only alloys. I have spent a fair amount of time looking for new wheel and tyre bundles. :dizzy:. I have found loads of options, just wanted to know if I was missing some glaring choices.

I will probably go down either route, thanks for the links. :thumbsup:

Thank but I don't think they'd fit an Z4M as they're 17"? Same city though, so would have been perfect.
