Hi all,

Long time viewer with many thanks for the suggestions :thumbup:.

Need advice:

- have stock/OEM 17"x7" Style 73 - Radial spoke (dedicated for winters) - running stock Pirelli 210 Sottozeros 205/50R17
- also have stock/OEM 17x7" Style 98 - Double spoke (dedicated for summers) - changing the stock Goodyear Eagles RS-A EMT tires for next summer ...
- am happy with these rims I have and would like to keep them
- on a 2005 330xi TPMS
- drive in Southeastern Ontario (weather like Upstate New York)

Questions in relation to above:
1) what sizes of tires can I go up to (or range should I expect) with these 17"x7" rims
2) what tire would be the best for the summer and winter in this region of the world?

Would appreciate any advice.

Many thanks,
PC

225/45/17 is the max you can do on a 7" rim.
