Got my winter tire/wheel package today!

[Bama M3]

Gary at Tirerack set me up with a set of 205/50R 17 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tires mounted on 17x7.5 Sport Edition A7 wheels with BMW center caps. The price was much better than anything I could get locally. I placed the order on Tues, and the tires were in my garage today (Thurs).

I'm guessing these will work out much better in the ice and snow than the 18" summer tires on my 08 335i w/Sport Pkg.

Not a bad deal for the $$. :thumbup:

I got 16" Dunlop 3Ds for my 2008 528i, mounted on BBS RDWs +TPMS for $1126 from Tirerack. Definitely giving up some cornering ability, but cushier ride, and the ice/snow safety is priceless. Seems like everybody here buys the Blizzaks, but the Dunlops are a little cheaper, and rated highly by Tirerack customers.

I got nearly the same setup, 245/40R18 Dunlop M3's on 18" Sport Editions. I also ran a similar setup on my 330, only with ASA JH3 rims, which seem to be identical to these rims. (ASA is in cast letters on the back side of the spokes.)

The wheels look close enough to stock, IMO.

Since there haven't been any reviews on them yet, I got 17" Goodyear Ultragrips on the clearance Fox alloys from Gary and couldn't be happier with them on my 2007 530i:thumbup:
