The snow storm yesterday was pretty nasty. The snow tires did good for you on the 20's? any feel of slippage?
I am probably going to go this route too and find 19's over the summer as people are selling them as takes offs.

I'm also concerned regarding scratching the OEM wheels during install and removal. I plan to own the car for at least four years.
It's beginning to look like there will be no choice but to get the 20" Pirellis. If the 19" set isn't available by early January it's hard to imagine they'll be available in February. The manufacturer will be focusing on summer tires at that point.
Well done BMW.

I agree. Ideally 19's to have beaten up during these hard New England winters and 20's with summer tires for the summer. Been doing it for years lol
