Great idea! I'll try to find one like that first then. I'm running OE 17" 393 for winter and 398 staggered for summer. Should I buy refinished wheel? Item number 252580198266 on ebay. Thanks!

My 18" knock off BWM wheels with Dunlop wintersport 4D

The continental tire kit has been great. I got a nail in a tire and the inflator worked great. No need to add the goop since it was a slow leak.

I carry the same kit in my trunk.
What time of year was it when you used it ?

I'm curious if it works well in extremely cold weather ?

It was around 5 degree Celsius when I used mine. Wet rainy fall evening.

I know a buddy used a disposable bottle of tire gunk in the winter time. I don't know how cold but I remember him telling me he was too lazy to change the tire. He was on the highway and had a flat. He didn't want to use a jack and change the tire plus the shoulder was snow covered...dangerous! He had a bottle of the gunk so he used it and it worked. It was below freezing at the time but probably not by a lot since he wasn't too far out of Vancouver. It was on an older X5.

[QUOTE=BEM-S4;20704565]Midwest is relatively easy to deal with all things considered. Road crews know what they're doing and it's flat which makes a huge difference. As long as you don't drive like a complete asshole it's usually smooth sailing.

Please join me here in Minnesota next January, I'd like to discuss this with you in more detail.
