The last set of snows I ran was on my GTI 7 years ago. I believe they were the Altimax which help up great and provided a lot of traction. My biggest complaint on those was they were a little noisy. |

Ordered the Pierelli Sottozeros mounted on 18" MSW type 73s in gloss grey. I would had preferred the machined/grey look but wasn't avail in 18s.
I didn't like any of Discount Tires wheels or I would probably had gone with the Michelin Alpin PA4s from them. Total with TPS and tax was about $1500 which seems pretty reasonable. I went ahead and ordered the daughter a set tire/wheel set for her Jeep Renegade. Sadly, those were almost as much! |

Hi all,
I was wondering if any one could advise if this setup for winter would fit the M performance cooling & tire brakes M340 It appears to have the same specs as the OEM 796 Winter offering from the stealership that people have mentioned. Just double verifying. Thanks in Advance

I'm really stuck with what I should do as well. 2020 m340i xdrive on stock squared 19in rims w/ P7 all seasons. They are about to go soon.
I am thinking of 1/3 options, 1) buy another pair of runflat all seasons on same rims, 2) buy snow tires on same rims and switch to summer tires on same rims, or 3) splurge and use my 19s with snow tires and then upgrade to 20in black rims on summer tires this upcoming spring. My only concern is that I have a semi-frequent 120 mile roundtrip commute where I have to be at work no matter what. For anyone that lives in MI/OH we have problems with potholes. Car for reference |

I was set on 19’s but decided that I’d see how much better the ride is on 18’s. I’m normally staggered but going Michelin PA4s 235/40/18 non run flats on Replika alloy wheels. I keep about $400 in my pocket by going with the 18’s as well.

I'd get a pair of 18" wheels and throw winters on them. Then I'd throw some summers when your RFT All-seasons need it or this summer when you want to feel what your G20 is really capable of. Run-flats and all-seasons really don't let you feel the full car. It was night and day on my F30 when I went from the crap-tier RFT/AS that come with the car to MPS4S'. If you want to save money, you can keep the same wheels and just swap back and forth from winters to summers and back or get something like the new MPSAS4's. After swapping on the same wheels for my F30, I think I'd rather have wheels and tires matches. Just extra wear and tear on the wheels and tires to pop them on and off every season. Plus it's easier to keep your summer wheels nice when they aren't getting sloshed around in the salt and snow all winter.

Winter Setup - Squared BMW M Performance 18 inch style 796M black wheels with Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 R-Fs. These are alittle more noisy than the Pirelli P7s that are mounted to the stock 19" 791M wheels.

My m340 came with 791m/ pilot sport 4s tires and brake cooling pkg. I recently got my winter set up and couldn’t be happier. It looks and handles much better.

Not a big fan of the sottozero3 I had them mounted for les than 500 miles before I swapped them with PS A/S3. Bad traction and very soft sidewall.
