Okay let me get this right...Let's buy a 50-60k car and throw a bunch of cosmetic and performance upgrades on it but cheap out when it comes to winter tires? lol. With xDrive you can use your tires for more than 2 seasons. Get a reputable set of tires (Blizzaks) for a $1,000 and use them over the life of a standard lease. I'm sure that $250-$350 a year in tires isn't going to match your insurance deductible, you trying to find a new insurance company, legal issues tied to driving with improper tires for conditions, or medical bills when you drive off the road or through a red light and get plowed by on coming traffic.
