G29 in Winter

Post by Probocop » Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:41 am

I find the decision of when to swap to winters is always a bit of a guessing game. I've both left it too late and got snowed in, and swapped them too early before a mini heatwave :lol:

I have another set of wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpin 6's on. For the 1 series mind, the Z is asleep in the garage by then :thumbsup:

Are the rear alloy wheels larger than the fronts? I really wanted Michelin Cross Climate 2.
At the top of page two, I posted the BMW recommended size of winter tyre (M+S) they are listed as 255/40 R18’s front and rear, so you could easily go 255/35 R19 :thumbsup:
