#236 of 242 Re: Are true winter tires enough or is AWD the answer? [neprop] by srs_49 Oct 29, 2009 (2:58 am)
Replying to: neprop (Oct 28, 2009 1:36 pm) Yes. IMO, good winter tires are all you need.   Of course, the driver needs to know what they're doing also ,

Replying to: qali (Oct 12, 2009 12:48 pm) Ok, so I put on a set of 205/50-17 winter tires. Any tips on what the tire pressure should be? The owner's manual and the door label only lists the pressure for stock tires, ie, 225/45-17. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Nov 01, 2009 6:01 am)

Replying to: qali (Nov 01, 2009 5:21 am) 205-50-17 should have the same pressures.... same sidewall height as the 225/45-17...
#239 of 242 Snow tires for 2009 335xi coupe? by dmargo2 Nov 05, 2009 (7:41 am)
I live in Wisconsin...and need to get into work even with bad weather. I have a new 335xi coupe which I love; came with Continental RFT as "all season". My question is has anyone put snows on a 335xi coupe and been happy or unhappy. I've never put snows on an awd car; but from doing some reading it seems like it might be a good idea and will take a good 7-10K miles/year off my other tires. Just wondering if others have been happy with that "investment"...thanks Dave Replies to this message: srs_49 (Nov 05, 2009 9:46 am) upstatedoc (Nov 06, 2009 10:21 am)

Replying to: dmargo2 (Nov 05, 2009 7:41 am) I can't speak for the 335xi, but when we had our 2002 Subaru Outback wagon, we did just fine with a good set of all season radials (not performance summer tires) in up to 6-8" of snowfall.

Replying to: dmargo2 (Nov 05, 2009 7:41 am) I've never owned an AWD sedan until i bought my '09 328ix recently. We have(had) 2 Acura MDX's w/ AWD and only used the all seasons that came with it,, granted those all seasons seem a little "chunkier" than the Conti's on my 3. The 335ix comes w/ the 17" rims no? They may be a little worse in the snow than my 16". I'll let you know how my all seasons performed in the spring!
#242 of 242 e46 rims for e90 by dhanley Nov 27, 2009 (12:17 pm)
I own a sport package 335i e90. A friend has unknown 17' rims with snow tires from his e46. The tires are 225/50/R17.   Is this likely to fit on my 335i? I would like to not be driving a giant ice skate this winter.
