FOR SALE. Set of 4 17" RIMS with NOKIAN WR-A4 Run Flat Winter tyres
Hey, I don't know much about winter tyres at all so have a few questions, but I'm interested in this offer...
Are these considered to be good tyres? I couldn't see much in the way of reviews, so might need a bit of guidance.
Looking at your post history, you ran these on an E89 20i? If so that's great as that's the same car as mine, down to the colour as well. I'm on the stock tyres which are staggered, but I note that these aren't? Will this be an issue?
Also, how do you set up the TPMS system so that the car recognises the new tires?
[Did have tyre size comparisons here but mucked up the sizes so no longer necessary, cheers Smartbear!]
If you have any pics of your car with the rims and tyres on it would be great to see what they looked like.
Any help you can give is really appreciated

Hi Felix
In answer to your questions. The Nokians have a solid reputation, especially on snow - what else would expect from a Finnish brand? I spent several years working in Sweden in the early 2000s and Nokian's were always highly rated as a brand. The tyre test ratings change from year to year but when I bought these in late 2017 they were well rated. I recall that, at the time, overall the Continentals were considered better, but the Nokians were best in snow. Try taking a look here: https://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/te ... inter.html
I always found they drove superbly on the Z4 2.0idrive that we ran. And the few days I had them on snow they were very confidence inspiring. Instant traction, almost no activation of the ESP and steered and stopped predictably. This in conditions when on the summer tyres I simply wouldn't have driven the car. And they never struggled in dry or wet conditions either which is arguably more important for a southern British winter. All I can say is that I liked them and they seemed to suit the Z4 and they made both my wife and I very comfortable driving the car in wintry weather.
As for sizes our Z4, now sold, came with the M pack, so the different sized tyres front and rear on 19" rims. But these are a straight swap as this tyre size is standard fitment on many Z4s. I believe that it's also BMW's recommended sizing for winter tyres. I'd recommend this site for checking out wheel and tyre combinations for almost any car - you enter the sizes at OEM and your proposed fitment and it tells you any variations.
www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=215-40- ... 0mm&sr=0mm
As for TPMS you put the wheels on and go through the TPMS reset using the column stalk (as per the handbook). It takes 2 or 3 minutes and you've reset to the new wheels and tyres.
Attached the only picture I have of them on the car. It was taken more for artistic purposes (I'm a photographer) and is in B&W, but it offers a fair idea.
I hope that's all useful.

£250 wheels with Nokian tyres is a giveaway , the WRA4 tyres alone are currently £300 +https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/ ... 91h-752948
& worth every penny imo
I have the same on our F11 & my daily drive Yeti running them all year round , through the warmer months they match a decent brand summer tyre no problem with the added bonus of being a decent winter / wet weather tyre too .
Pity i don't need these or it would be deal done

As mr wilks says they are an absolute bargain at that price!
I would have had them for my 330i if it hadn't come with a 2nd set of wheels with winters fitted. Mind you they are much better looking wheels than the ones I've got.
Someone please buy them before I get tempted.

The above “garage full of wheels” competition probably not helpful to the OP!
I’ll take these for £250. I wasn’t going to, but I’m swayed by ringing endorsements from Mr Wilks and Mr Tidy.
I’ll PM to arrange a Covid-safe collection.

Thanks - loved reading about your wheel collections and it did keep it top of the forum!
And now, subject to collection this weekend they are now sold! I will update the listing to reflect that as soon as they've physically gone.
