What tires to replace stock M-Sport summers?

flyboy66 · 02-23-2011, 09:21 AM

For all you X-Drive people. I assume you have X-drive for adverse weather conditions. What tires are you running since the ones that came stock on the M-Sport suck ass?? Thanks!

Bite the bullet and get a second set of rims with dedicated winter tires. All seasons are a compromise in all conditions.

As far as winter tires go, I have personally driven on michelin pilot alpin pa3's, and the blizzak RFT's and both did well.

Conti DWS's..best all around tire.

Conti DWS here also

Went the other route and got Conti Extreme Weather Contact and a set of 284 rims. If you purchased your car, I would recommend this.

If I were going all season, DWS would be high on the list. I really only trust Conti >> Michelin > Bridgestone

I bought the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D and the MSW Type 22 rims ($108 ea) from tire rack. Unbelievable traction in the snow and on dry pavement!

I got the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and have been very happy with them. Great ride all year.

I bought a used OEM BMW rims from a 328 and my OEMs for summer the M-Pack comes with Micheline PS2 which are better than the Bridgestone I think the regular tire for the non-M-pack.

I refuse to run my good 18" rims in PA winter/salt roads - so I picked up a new set of cheaper 17" wheels and Blizzak WS70's from TireRack for my winter setup on my 328ix...
