Show off your Winter Tire Packages 2014

CHCCubs · 11-17-2014, 04:26 PM

I've been running these style 162 reps from my old E90 for the last few winters. Using 225/50/17 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 ZP tires and have been happy with them the last couple winters.

btw, what % tint is that Joey?

also, nice Firebird poster from the 70's

I like the Rial X10's, too!

Thanks....the sides are 30% & the back is 20%.

That's no poster...that's a photo of my 1978 Pontiac TransAm. I bought it from my buddy after he put a 400 big block from a 1969 GTO Judge in it.
I owned that in the mid 80's but wrote it off in an accident. Very sad day.

I like the silver painted as well, and was thinking of (reversibly) painting them black to try out the dark look.

I think 17s would look fine in silver or black:

Looks good, are those 17s?

Edit - saw your previous post that they are indeed 17s, nice. Makes me feel better about my choice to downsize. Now I just have to wait for Tirerack to catch up with their mounting backlog, ETA isn't until December 1st or 2nd :/

Yep, 17s and happy I went that direction. Very quiet and smooth. I live about an hour from Tire Rack in South Bend so I just run up there and pick things up. Did you get the same wheels?

I went for the black Rial X10, like m4a1mustang (though he has the 18s).

Great looking winters.

Shawnanono · 11-22-2014, 12:24 PM

I went with AG M310s in 19" and Blizzaks. This pic is from the first fitting, but they just went the car yesterday for the holiday season.

Jimminez · 11-22-2014, 04:11 PM

Nokian Hakka R2s in 225/45R18s on BBS SR 18x8" ET32. We've only had a bit of snow so I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform with the xDrive.

S4NoMore · 11-22-2014, 04:17 PM

I wish Nokian Hakkas were available on tirerack... what's up with that anyway?

Anyone running their winter setups without TPMS?

Question - how did you go about getting BMW roundel center caps? Did you find a source for caps or is it a sticker over top of the Rial center?

Running on Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 Runflat. 225/50/17 94H, and sweetly.
