Just checked Discount Tire and the seem to have some low end (BFGoodrich) and also the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 but even though fronts are 102Y rears come with 100W - they still sell them as sets of 4 for the M5. Wonder what difference that would make.

I did the Michelin AS 3+ last week swap over. The car carries 1 person, 90% of the time.. no one is in the back seat... except my 70lb. bulldog. During the colder/winters months.. no way am I loading the car up with the stresses the car sees in the summer. With the AWD, I don't foresee the need for full blown snow tires like on my M2. Not to mention our winters are unpredictable.... 60" of snow one year... 10" of snow the next. I'm completely comfortable with the rears having a lower rating. Also... didn't BMW say 102 rating all the way around was fine also.. that cuts the difference in the rears, in half. Even less of a concern. |

Only did the change 6 days ago.. so not much time on the tires. That being said, road noise is less on one particular stretch of my drive.. but on highway surfaces.. I can tell no difference. The car is well insulated. No change in comfort/tracking/anything else really. I look forward to see how they perform when it's 20° out.. and in the snow. Should be a blast.. not as fun as the M2 in 4" of snow... but fun for a car it's size. |

I keep asking everybody - but did you have any subtle vibration on steering wheel or feet with them as if the wheels are off balance? I am really hoping switching tires will help since my dealer cannot find anything else wrong. |

Right off Tire Rack. Search for the tire/size... not for the car specially. $1,008 delivered. Make sure you are checking for: A/S 3+ Not A/S 3 |

Still not sure why - maybe there is a reason tire rack doesn't want to show them as a set. |

Do you realize A/S 3+ are all-seasons? For people that get moderate snow, and their state has proper snow removal equipment, these with AWD, is more than adequate. These are better tires/AWD systems/vehicles together are better than 97% of the vehicles on the road. EDIT: In your area.. yes.. true snow tires are needed regardless of the traction system in vehicles. |
