Winter tires for 645

[2manycars]

I picked up my 645 recently after a very long wait. Though the salesman says "it will be fine with the all season tires this winter," I know better from other experiences. We live in NJ where the winters are not usually awful, but my experience with any rear wheel drive car has convinced me I need 4 snow tires. I called tire rack and indeed there are run-flat snows, but he was a bit confused about what sensor was needed for the tire pressure monitor.

Any one hear of a run-flat winter tire/wheel package for a 645 yet?

Thanks

We're still putting snow packages together for this car, as its a bit early for snows yet. I'd suggest checking back in mid to late September, when we'll have complete packages put together, and have the Tire Montoring details worked out. Just email or call me direct in about a month or so and I'll be happy to assist. :thumbup:

We might even have this car up at the winter-specific site at that time here : http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AB2&url=/winter/index.jsp

In the meantime, enjoy what is left of your summer and your new car!!

Also we're showing your system does not use sensors, but is ABS based, so you would not need to worry about sensor installs and so forth...

If anyone knows for sure this is not correct on the 645, please let me know.
