Snow Tires

sgt3966 · 09-18-2017, 06:37 AM

So I just bought my Z4 about 3 weeks ago and already I am fearing the worst for the winter as this is my daily driver. I am thinking of getting a set of rims and snow tires to swap out for the winter. Any recommendations and/or for sale? Its a 2015 35i M package/wheels.
Thx,
Paul.

Are you in NYC? I found that DWS work great, however I try not to drive when its still snowing. DWS work fine for this area.

Yes. Queens NY. Pardon my inexperience with this car, but what is DWS?

Thx,

Paul.

They're a model of continental tire. Look on tire rack for snow tire ratings (you can get wheels there too and they'll come mounted for you). For best traction with snows, get a narrower tire. Ask the rep on tire rack for advice on this.

So if I go to Tire Rack and get aftermarket Rims and snow tires, will they have the TPS sensors already on the rims? How does that work?

There should be a drop down menu that asks if you require tpms.

Tirerack is a good source. I also like getyourwheels.com. The staff is very knowledgeable and they have a large assortment.

I'm also looking into winter wheels. I may do M4 reps from 1010tires.com
