Winter tires for OEM 261 Rims

M3Newbie88 · 10-05-2008, 04:18 PM

Just wondering if anyone is going to use their OEM 262 m rims for winter and if so what is everyone getting interm of tire brand and size.

I am debating because if I get winter rims I won't get summer rims and vice versa..

I went with the Nokian Hakka 5 tires, after hearing rave reviews all around. Now I'm debating getting dedicated rims to mount them on, or just using my current rims. More money to get winter rims, but then I could throw on & take off my winters whenever I want myself (once they're mounted).

Bump. I was about to order the blizzaks but don't know if I should order 4 225/40/18 as recommended in tire rack's website or the 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 combo. Please help.
