Winter tires?
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.

Winter tires?
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?

" high and low " really there are dozens of sets out there from £400-£1400 , some may require a spacer depending on which Zpulp wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 12:28 am I have been looking high and low.

Winter tires?
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. . I have found loads of options, just wanted to know if I was missing some glaring choices.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 9:32 am" high and low " really there are dozens of sets out there from £400-£1400 , some may require a spacer depending on which Zpulp wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 12:28 am I have been looking high and low.

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

Thank but I don't think they'd fit an Z4M as they're 17"? Same city though, so would have been perfect.mr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 8:22 pmThese look somewhat of a bargain viewtopic.php?f=7&t=125979&p=1793683#p1793683pulp wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 8:17 pmTo be honest, I didn't consider second hand tyres, only alloys.
